I absolutely could tell this is a VM. What computer in the world uses i5-7400 with 2 gigs of RAM?

I don't entirely understand Nix, but it seems super cool. Could you theoretically make a setup like this, share the magic Nix config file, and someone could reproduce your exact setup on a different machine? Or am I misunderstanding how it works?

that’s the concept, yes. However, with rices and eye-candy, not everything is ported in nix, so there might be some tinkering needed. But my whole sway config is managed by Nix (with home-manager)

Nice Rice man! Are you already on flake based system config?
