minimal example config

[rG2ee]

Hello,

I'm relatively new to NixOS, in the sense that I've only created configurations so far and haven't delved deeper into the language.
Would it be possible to create a minimal example configuration that makes use of hardware features with Wayland?
With all the options and GitHub discussions, it's difficult for me to understand what's happening.

Maybe there is already an example repository from which I can start?

Hi, I was in the same place you are. I'll share a few resources.

1. Once installed, if you want graphics acceleration, you need to add this to your /etc/nixos/configuration:

  hardware.asahi = {
    useExperimentalGPUDriver = true;
    experimentalGPUInstallMode = "replace";
    setupAsahiSound = true;
  };

These are a few other things that took me a while to figure out:

Persistant Battery Charge Limit at 80%:

services.udev.extraRules = ''
    SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", KERNEL=="macsmc-battery", ATTR{charge_control_end_threshold}="80"
  '';

Enable the notch (I prefer the extra real estate and just move my dock up to the top like on macos):

boot.kernelParams = [ "apple_dcp.show_notch=1" ];

You can take a look at my config but it is using a multi host flake. (My asahi system is the 'nixi' one in my flake). So if you are using channels, it will look a little different.

There is another persons repo that I look at as well for help. They also use flakes but its a much better setup than mine:
https://github.com/yusefnapora/nix-config/blob/main/nixos/hosts/asahi/default.nix

I feel like there should be a piece added to the documentation on how to enable hardware graphics acceleration as that is what most people want but I hope that helps.

If you do anything that takes a bit of ram, I recommend that you enable zram in your config.

  zramSwap.enable = true;

also this can be handy on a laptop:

  services.logind.extraConfig = ''
    # don’t shutdown when power button is short-pressed
    HandlePowerKey=ignore
  '';

Thank you very much. That was helpful.
