NubNix is a purpose-built NixOS configuration designed for a single machine (a 2012 MacBook Pro). However, structured to scale across other systems with minimal change. It merges NixOS and Home Manager into a unified, reproducible environment while staying lightweight enough to run comfortably on decade-old hardware.

Philosophy

Device-aware tuned specifically for older Intel Macs (Broadcom Wi-Fi, legacy EFI quirks, etc.)
Modular by design every component can be swapped, reused, or disabled per host
Offline-ready all required assets are baked into the installation image for fully air-gapped setup
Reproducible each rebuild yields an identical environment, tracked through Git

Structure

nixos/ — base system configuration (boot, hardware, services)
home/ — user environment and desktop modules
assets/ — wallpapers, themes, offline packages
iso/ — installer definitions for standalone rebuilds

Status

Functional on the MacBook Pro (A1398, 2012 7,1). Refactoring for cross-device deployment in progress.
