The NixOS side

Same spirit.
A different foundation.

01

Declared. Then built.

Ryoku packages and services live in your /etc/nixos configuration. flake.lock pins the inputs to specific versions, so rebuilds use the same revisions until you update them.

02

A way back.

System updates create normal NixOS generations. Return to a previous generation when you need to. Keep backups for your personal files.

03

Still yours.

Your desktop stays customizable. Ryoku manages its base configuration and keeps your own overrides separate, outside the Nix store.
