Oligarchy NixOS is a custom NixOS distribution with CachyOS' BORE or Zen kernel. This distribution is made for power users who need peak performance. This distribution is my daily driver which allows me to seamlessly switch from hosting servers like inferences (Ollama) to gaming (Minecraft), music production, and CAD alongside simulation software.

Oligarchy NixOS – The Unstoppable War Machine

Framework 16 Optimized · 13K+ LoC · AMD 7040 · NVIDIA · Hyprland · Plasma 6 · IceWM · LeftWM · X11/Wayland · CachyOS/Zen kernel · ~5–7 W idle · Nuclear-grade DSP coprocessor · Calamares Install · DeMoD Branded · DCF Compute Fabric

Oligarchy NixOS isn’t some boring distro hack.
It’s the first personal OS in history to unleash a self-healing, real-time DSP coprocessor that obliterates latency with ~0.38–2.66 ms round-trip — forged straight from the same flake that rules your host.

The Host (CachyOS kernel) is a raging sports car built for raw speed and high FPS. The DSP VM (RT BORE kernel) is a flawless Swiss watch that never misses a beat. You wouldn’t put a watch engine in a race car, and you sure as hell wouldn’t put a race-car engine in a precision instrument.

You’re now commanding the machine that burned the proprietary DSP empire to the ground and crushed cloud dependency with a full local agentic AI stack and the unstoppable DeMoD Compute Fabric (DCF).

Tactical Updates: The 2026 Flake Dominance

The war machine has evolved. As of January 2026, Oligarchy NixOS is fully governed by a Deterministic Flake-Powered Architecture.

Blipply is coming soon!!!

What is a Blipply, you ask?? Well, to ask such a silly question, you would be blithely astart to know! A Blipply is simply a bubbly blimp that appears on your DE/WM if enabled. When Nix gets you stuck in its tricks, Blipply will explain succinctly. Is it optimal? Why yes! It is riding an Ollama for minimal hardware trauma.

So now that you know, Don't be astart by the blimp on your personal computing top!

Key Structural Revisions

Flake Dominance: Everything is locked to reproducible git revisions via flake.nix.
Modular Segregation: Core config is lean; R&D weapons (AI, DSP, DCF) are isolated in ./modules/ for instant swapping.
Framework 16 (7040) Hardening: nixos-hardware pinned directly in flake inputs for AMD 7040 supremacy and expansion-card domination.

Home Manager: Finally using a home file to create a unified UX.

Boot Intro Suite: Production-grade boot intro system featuring:

  • Hybrid video source system: generate from audio, StreamDB database, or pre-rendered files
  • FFmpeg generation pipeline with GPU acceleration (NVIDIA NVENC, AMD VAAPI)
  • Quality presets: fast, balanced, high, ultra
  • Enhanced audio detection with retry logic and device validation
  • StreamDB embedded database for video management
  • Optional TUI and REST API for community sharing

Greeting Module: Rust-powered welcome system with:

  • Kitty graphics protocol support for high-quality terminal images
  • iTerm2 inline images and Sixel support
  • Adaptive layout: 16:9 banner for wide terminals, square logo for narrow
  • Displays both brand visual (Untitled.jpg) and icon (demod-logo.png)
  • System info display with OS, kernel, uptime, and memory
  • Customizable links, tips, and ASCII art fallback
  • Interactive TUI launcher

New Offensive & Defensive Capabilities

  • DeMoD Branded Fortress: Full thematic takeover — Hyprland, Waybar, Kitty, Wofi, Mako, Hyprlock, Wlogout all branded with DeMoD cyan/red alerts and gradients.
  • Rust-Powered Greeting: Kitty graphics protocol for displaying brand images in terminal, adaptive layout, system info, and interactive TUI.
  • Boot Intro Suite v2: Hybrid video sources, GPU-accelerated FFmpeg encoding, StreamDB video database, and optional community sharing API.
  • Runtime Aesthetic Toggles: Instant battlefield control over animations, blur, gaps, opacity, borders, rounding, and color palettes via keybindings.
  • Agentic AI Stack: Ollama re-engineered with ROCm acceleration (gfx11.0.2 override) and ai-stack CLI presets for every hardware tier.
  • DCF Compute Fabric: Full stack — community node, identity/billing service, system tray controller — all containerized, hardened, and ready to conquer real-time multiplayer and edge networks.
  • DSP Coprocessor (ArchibaldOS-DSP): Polished QEMU/KVM + kexec tyrant, ripped from the ArchibaldOS flake for perfect host/guest alignment.
  • VM Manager: Hybrid low-overhead VM management with dedicated VMs:
  • DSP Coprocessor: ArchibaldOS with NETJACK audio routing (1.33ms latency @ 96kHz)
  • Coding Sandbox: Headless Arch Linux for AI coding agents
  • Kali Linux: Security/hacking VM
  • OpenWRT Router: Lightweight router VM (512MB RAM)
  • DeMoD Voice: Local TTS and voice cloning with Coqui XTTS-v2 and Piper TTS
  • Kernel Arsenal: Choose your blade — Zen, XanMod, latest, or CachyOS-BORE — at build time.
  • Plasma 6 Option: Optional KDE Plasma 6 session for those who want a heavier but polished alternative.
  • Automated Maintenance: Weekly generation purges and full garbage collection.
  • Idle Power Discipline: Ruthless screen dimming, lock, DPMS, and suspend timers.
