 # Repository Guidelines
 
 ## Project Structure & Module Organization
-This flake manages both macOS (`macbook-pro`) and NixOS (`dev-vm`) hosts. `flake.nix` collects shared modules while `flake.lock` pins inputs. Platform modules live in `modules/darwin/` and `modules/nixos/`; the Linux base `system.nix` pulls in `users.nix`, `network.nix`, `ssh.nix`, and `containerization.nix`. Host overlays such as `modules/nixos/hosts/dev-vm.nix` add virtio tooling or per-machine packages. User-facing configuration sits under `modules/home/rsydn/` with `programs/`, `shell/`, and `devtools/`; Darwin layers `shell/nushell.nix` and Linux sticks to `shell/fish.nix`. Secrets remain encrypted in `secrets/*.sops.yaml` and appear at runtime under `~/.config/secrets/`.
+Shared logic lives in `flake.nix`, with inputs pinned in `flake.lock`. Platform modules sit under `modules/darwin/` and `modules/nixos/`; Linux hosts compose `modules/nixos/system.nix` plus `users.nix`, `network.nix`, `ssh.nix`, and `containerization.nix`. Host-specific overlays like `modules/nixos/hosts/dev-vm.nix` supply virtualization packages, while macOS tweaks belong in `modules/darwin/hosts/`. Home Manager layers for `rsydn` are under `modules/home/rsydn/` with `programs/`, `shell/`, and `devtools/`. Secrets stay encrypted in `secrets/*.sops.yaml` and surface at runtime in `~/.config/secrets/`.

+Use `nix develop` to enter the project shell with `git`, `nixfmt-classic`, and SOPS ready. Run `nix fmt` before committing to format all Nix sources. `XDG_CACHE_HOME=$PWD/.cache nix flake check` validates every host without polluting the global cache. For macOS changes, run `darwin-rebuild --dry-run --flake .#macbook-pro` and follow with `darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#macbook-pro`. Validate the Linux VM closure via `nix build .#nixosConfigurations.dev-vm.config.system.build.toplevel`.
-- `nix fmt` – format every Nix file; run before committing module or overlay changes.
-- `XDG_CACHE_HOME=$PWD/.cache nix flake check` – evaluate all hosts without polluting the global cache.
-- `darwin-rebuild --dry-run --flake .#macbook-pro` → `darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#macbook-pro` – preview then apply macOS updates.
-- `nix build .#nixosConfigurations.dev-vm.config.system.build.toplevel` – validate the Linux VM closure before switching.
 
 ## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
-Use two-space indentation, trailing commas, and lower-kebab filenames (e.g. `shell/nushell.nix`). Declare custom options in the `rsydn.*` namespace and prefer shared modules over ad-hoc host tweaks.
+Indent with two spaces and keep trailing commas in attribute sets. Prefer lower-kebab filenames (e.g. `shell/nushell.nix`), and expose custom options under the `rsydn.*` namespace. Format Nix with `nix fmt`; avoid ad-hoc host tweaks when a shared module fits.
 
 ## Testing Guidelines
-Treat `nix flake check` as mandatory gatekeeping. Capture activation output (`darwin-rebuild --dry-run`, `nix build .#nixosConfigurations.dev-vm…`) and attach summaries to reviews. Co-locate regression tests next to their modules with the `<option-name>.nix` pattern.
+Treat `nix flake check` as the minimum gate; capture its output for reviews. When adjusting host builds, keep dry-run transcripts (`darwin-rebuild --dry-run`, `nix build .#nixosConfigurations.dev-vm…`) to share in PRs. Co-locate regression tests next to their modules using the `<option-name>.nix` pattern.
 
 ## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
-Keep commit subjects short and imperative (`add dev-vm virtualization module`) and scope each commit narrowly. PRs should list validation commands, link issues or TODOs, and include screenshots or terminal snippets when modifying prompts, Tailscale, or SSH flows.

 ## Security & Configuration Tips
-Age keys live at `~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`; regenerate via Home Manager if missing. Read secrets from the managed files (`open ~/.config/secrets/openai-api-key | str trim`) and scope them with `with-env`. Tailscale and OpenSSH run by default on Linux; rotate keys regularly and audit `services.tailscale.extraUpFlags` before enabling exit nodes.

+# Desktop Setup Guide
+
+This guide explains how to add desktop configurations to your NixOS system.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Desktop configuration is split into 3 layers:
+
+### Layer 1: Base Infrastructure (`modules/nixos/*.nix`)
+Hardware support that all desktops need:
+- `audio.nix` - PipeWire audio stack
+- `bluetooth.nix` - Bluetooth support
+- `graphics.nix` - OpenGL/Vulkan acceleration
+- `fonts.nix` - System fonts
+
+### Layer 2: Desktop Environments (`modules/nixos/desktops/`)
+System-level DE/WM configuration:
+- `hyprland.nix` - Hyprland compositor
+- `plasma.nix` - KDE Plasma 6
+- `niri.nix` - Niri compositor
+- `base.nix` - Shared DE settings
+
+### Layer 3: User Configuration (`modules/home/rsydn/desktop/`)
+Home Manager user-level configs:
+- `base.nix` - GTK/Qt theming
+- `apps/` - GUI application configs
+- `wayland/` - Compositor user configs
+- `themes/` - Theme configurations
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Update `flake.nix`
+
+Add a new host configuration:
+
+```nix
+nixosConfigurations.my-desktop = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
+  system = "x86_64-linux";
+  modules = [
+    ./modules/nixos/system.nix
+    ./modules/nixos/hosts/desktop-dev.nix  # Your host config
+    home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager {
+      home-manager.users.rsydn = import ./modules/nixos/home/desktop.nix;
+    }
+  ];
+};
+```
+
+### 2. Update `modules/nixos/system.nix`
+
+Add desktop infrastructure imports:
+
+```nix
+{ lib, ... }: {
+  imports = [
+    ./users.nix
+    ./network.nix
+    ./ssh.nix
+    ./containerization.nix
+    # Add these for desktop:
+    ./audio.nix
+    ./bluetooth.nix
+    ./graphics.nix
+    ./fonts.nix
+  ];
+  # ... rest of config
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Customize Host Configuration
+
+Copy and modify `modules/nixos/hosts/desktop-dev.nix`:
+- Set hostname
+- Choose desktop environment (import from `desktops/`)
+- Add hardware-specific settings (GPU drivers, etc.)
+
+### 4. Enable Compositor in Home Manager
+
+Edit `modules/home/rsydn/desktop/wayland/default.nix`:
+
+```nix
+imports = [
+  ./hyprland  # Uncomment the compositor you want
+  # ./niri
+];
+```
+
+### 5. Build and Switch
+
+```bash
+# Check configuration
+nix flake check
+
+# Build
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#my-desktop
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Hyprland Development Workstation
+1. Host imports `desktops/hyprland.nix`
+2. Home Manager imports `desktop/wayland/hyprland`
+3. Customize keybinds in `desktop/wayland/hyprland/default.nix`
+
+### KDE Plasma Gaming Rig
+1. Host imports `desktops/plasma.nix`
+2. Home Manager imports `desktop/base.nix` only
+3. Enable Steam in host config
+4. Add gaming packages
+
+## Ricing Guide
+
+All customization should happen in Layer 3 (`modules/home/rsydn/desktop/`):
+
+1. **Themes**: Add theme files in `desktop/themes/`
+2. **Compositor styling**: Edit `desktop/wayland/{hyprland,niri}/`
+3. **Application configs**: Edit `desktop/apps/`
+4. **Keep Layer 1 & 2 minimal** - they provide functionality, not aesthetics
+
+## Switching Desktop Environments
+
+Simply change the import in your host config:
+
+```nix
+# Before
+imports = [ ../desktops/hyprland.nix ];
+
+# After
+imports = [ ../desktops/plasma.nix ];
+```
+
+Then rebuild your system.

+# Desktop Environments
+
+This directory contains system-level desktop environment configurations.
+
+## Available Desktop Environments
+
+- `hyprland.nix` - Dynamic tiling Wayland compositor

+- `niri.nix` - Scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
+- `base.nix` - Shared desktop settings (imported by all DEs)
+
+## Usage
+
+Import one desktop environment in your host configuration:
+
+```nix
+# modules/nixos/hosts/your-host.nix
+{
+  imports = [

+    # OR
+    # ../desktops/plasma.nix
+    # OR
+    # ../desktops/niri.nix
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+## Adding a New Desktop Environment
+
+1. Create a new file (e.g., `gnome.nix`)
+2. Import `./base.nix`
+3. Enable the desktop environment
+4. Add essential system packages
