-# Personal nix config
+# cnix nix
 
-Inspired by _(stolen from)_ the following:
+**cnix** began as a direct copy-paste of Misterio's starter configs, but over
+time it evolved to resemble his main configuration more closely. I gradually
+integrated elements from other excellent resources, such as colemickens' and
+fufexan's configurations, and eventually gained enough knowledge to start
+creating my own solutions.
+
+What you’ll find here is my daily driver and a work in progress, with many
+components still heavily inspired by the repositories mentioned below. I
+strongly encourage you to visit these repositories if you're looking for
+inspiration.
+
+This Nix configuration aims to be modular and scalable—something it achieves to
+some extent, though much work remains. The core of the system is a modular setup
+with separate configurations for users and systems, managed through
+`modules.nix` files in the `hosts` and `users` directories. I'm currently
+developing a small app to make managing these configurations more user-friendly.
+
+The three configurations below have been a major source of inspiration. They
+each take a unique approach to flake setup, and I highly recommend checking them
+out!
