Arguably NixOS is the most config heavy platform but it solves the pain point of having to reconfigure on different systems. Especially in the LLM era where I can configure Emacs and my OS decoratively.

How do you nixify your Emacs configuration? I've looked into it but at the time the advice was to specify dependencies both in Nix and in .emacs.d, which seemed redundant to me. Is there something like callCabal2Nix for Emacs?

Edit: Or do you mean "declaratively" in the sense of using something like straight.el?

I do it declaratively, however I specifically use an unstraightened version. [[https://github.com/marienz/nix-doom-emacs-unstraightened][marienz/nix-doom-emacs-unstraightened: Builds Doom Emacs using Nix]]

I use a doom emacs overlay that uses pgtk so it works flawlessly on wayland, since I only learned recently that it uses X by default. You can inspect my dotfiles here: [[https://github.com/ArikRahman/dotfiles][ArikRahman/dotfiles: Arik's Dotfiles]]
