Gets you a functional GNOME3 on Xorg. The only unusual option otherwise is that Pulseaudio broadcasting is possible (may require additional configuration through paprefs).

Following the NixOS install with encrypted /boot /root with single password unlock Gist instructions for installation.

In the future, I may use this guide instead, because it uses LUKS on LVM instead of vice versa (LVM on LUKS). LUKS on LVM is more flexible, according to the Arch wiki linked in that post:

Tip: Unlike LVM on LUKS, this method allows normally spanning the logical volumes over multiple disks.

This is a nixpkgs derivation of jsplacement. Because it uses electron_4 I've decided against any effort to publish it into nixpkgs itself, but at least being here someone can add it to their Direnv default.nix or home-manager or similar.

PureRef nixpkg

This is a hacky appimage wrapper nixpkg for PureRef to integrate it into NixOS better. As you may know, it's donationware, so the author encourages a donation and this means there's no way around manually downloading the program. So as a prerequisite, you need to download PureRef separately and slap it in the same folder as the Nix file, or alternatively, change the path to an absolute one, e.g.

src = /home/you/Downloads/PureRef-1.11.1_x64.Appimage;

Ideally this would use the actual Nixpkg appimage build tooling... but that's effort, and I just want to get shit done right now and this works fine.
