"Within these lines, a digital world takes form,
Crafted with Nix, resilient to any storm."
Welcome, traveler, to the heart of OrynOS – a meticulously sculpted NixOS configuration that transcends mere dotfiles. This repository is the digital loom upon which a personalized, performant, sovereign, and perfectly reproducible computing experience is woven.
What began as a journey through various digital landscapes has culminated in this current form: a swift Hyprland session, launched directly from the bare TTY for uncompromised speed and display fidelity, built upon the robust foundation of the HyDE framework.
