Possible NixOS version/ package?

[sofiaeris]

Hi, I love your work, and use it on every Linux distro I use, but I've recently switched to KDE/NixOS (Wayland), and it doesn't seem to work over there, unless I am missing something.

Potentially making a flake available would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Sander470 and thanks for feedback!

Which steps you followed? I mean, the local .XCompose only or using uim?

[sofiaeris]

I have tried the .XCompose and got it to work just now- but on NixOS this isn't a great solution as a nix config change might override the files I edited

[sofiaeris]

Is there any plan for a nix flake or package or is this not on the agenda?

[raelgc]

If you tried the local .XCompose, it'll be very unlikely that the OS will overwrite this user file. Anyway, probably what you want is global configuration, similar to the Ubuntu package, right?

But I'm afraid that I'll be not able to install NixOS in the next weeks.

Do you mind to help with this one, sending a pull-request?

I'd love to try, but I wouldn't really know where to start. I could look into it, but it'll take some time, as I'm pretty busy at the moment with college.

If you know some resources that could help me get started, please share them :)

At the minute im still struggling to even get it properly working in KDE like the start menu and Konsole and the like..

I was coming here to create this suggestion, I integrated using home-manager, as I'm on Ubuntu.
You can see the changes here, it was super simple:
giggio/dotfiles@9bd0586
It does make sense to add it to Nixpkgs, it would make it simpler, but the last step (set on my home.nix) would always be necessary. Unless the maintainers of home-manager adopted it too.

@giggio do you think is it possible create a PR to home-manager to adopt it?
