I haven’t really played around with installing browsers, etc via Nix on nix-darwin yet. The experience is really good for the most part! Setting it up initially is a little confusing since the installation has to create a volume for /nix, apart from that it’s really smooth.

I choose to replace Nix channels with in-code tarballs of the nixpkgs repository. Sometimes that does confuse darwin-rebuild but it could also be because I’ve set it up slightly incorrectly.

My Nix files are indeed open source! There’s a colour utility and a file that uses them to create theming files. https://github.com/kitten/nix-system/blob/master/config/colo...
