!!!Resources, Timestamps, and Extra Notes Below!!! -------------------- In this mini-course I try to demystify the whole process of setting up NixOS on your personal system. This course covers: - NixOS (configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix) - Home Manager (home.nix) - Flakes (flake.nix) This video is for entertainment purposes only. Some aspects/topics might change in future updates. Not everything is 100% correctly explained or information is left out. This is done to get the point across and keep everything accessible for newcomers. -------------------- Notes ( that I forgot to mention and will probably be updated with more information): - Flakes are currently only supported on the unstable version of NixOS - Home-Manager can be updated again by just running: $ nix-channel --update - Changing by-uuid in hardware-configuration.nix to *by-label*, does not mean you can always use this for other systems as mentioned at 0:55:00. Depending on your system, other kernel modules are needed for the system. In this case, it's highly recommended to still run: nixos-generate-config --root /mnt But this is useful if you want to reinstall the profile on the same formatted system. - nix.settings.auto-optimise-store is currently only available on unstable - I know it's curly. But I like squirly :) -------------------- Resources: NixOS: 1. NixOS Website: https://nixos.org/ 2. NixOS Manual: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/ 3.
