+This is my personal NixOS configuration that uses:
+- flakes
+- home-manager
+- musnix
+- affinity-nix
+- stanble and unstable packages
+- and more flakes...
+
+Some of the structure is loosely based on the starter configs from https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs/tree/main
+
+I don't know nix that well, so some of this will be a mess. It will also perpetually need refactoring.
