My Telos of My Desktop Experience


Core Principles

1. Never Search For Anything

  • Every app has a home.
  • I keep at least three essentials open at all times:
    1. Terminal → to destroy and rebuild my system as needed.
    2. Web Browser → to consume, test, and overload my memory.
    3. Notes App → to capture thoughts, configs, and system insights.
  • These live in workspaces 1–3 in Hyprland. No digging. No hunting. Always there.

Philosophy: If it’s important, it already has a place. I’m not “finding” — I’m jumping.

Why I’m Stepping Away from NixOS (For Now)

I love NixOS. It’s one of the most unique and powerful Linux distributions out there. The idea of a fully declarative system—where everything is managed in a single configuration file—is amazing. It gives me confidence and clarity. I always know what’s on my machine, where things are configured, and how to recreate it exactly on another system.

But ironically, the same thing I love about NixOS is also why I’m stepping away from it—for now.
