Documentation

hydenix VM

If your system supports virtualization, you can try hydenix in a NixOS VM without installing it on your machine.

If you encounter issues running Hyprland inside the VM, see the VirtIO guide.

# run the flake remotely
nix run github:florianvazelle/hydenix

Note

Any configuration changes require rebuilding the VM. To reset it, delete the disk image:
rm hydenix.qcow2
