🚀 Installation

⚠️ Use this configuration at your own risk! ⚠️
Applying custom configurations, especially those related to your operating system, can have unexpected consequences and may interfere with your system's normal behavior. While I have tested these configurations on my own setup, there is no guarantee that they will work flawlessly on all systems.
I am not responsible for any issues that may arise from using this configuration.

It is highly recommended to review the configuration contents and make necessary modifications to customize it to your needs before attempting the installation.

Install NixOs

First install nixos using any graphical ISO image.

Only been tested using the Gnome graphical installer and choosing the No desktop option durring instalation.

Clone the repo

nix-shell -p git
git clone https://github.com/Frost-Phoenix/nixos-config
cd nixos-config

Install script

First make sure to read the install script, it isn't long

Execute and follow the installation script :
```
./install.sh
```
You will need to change the git account yourself in ./modules/home/git.nix
```
   programs.git = {
      ...
      userName = "Frost-Phoenix";
      userEmail = "67cyril6767@gmail.com";
      ...
   };
```
Reboot

After rebooting, you'll be greeted by swaylock prompting for your password, with the wallpaper in the background.
Manual config

Even though I use home manager, there is still a little bit of manual configuration to do:
- Set Aseprite theme (they are in the folder ./nixos-config/modules/home/aseprite/themes).
- Enable Discord theme (in Discord settings under VENCORD > Themes).
- Configure the browser (for now, all browser configuration is done manually).

Install script walkthrough

A brief walkthrough of what the install script does.

Get username

You will receive a prompt to enter your username, with a confirmation check.
Set username

The script will replace all occurancies of the default usename CURRENT_USERNAME by the given one stored in $username
Create basic directories

The following directories will be created:
- ~/Music
- ~/Documents
- ~/Pictures/wallpapers/others
Copy the wallpapers

Then the wallpapers will be copied into ~/Pictures/wallpapers/others which is the folder in which the wallpaper-picker.sh script will be looking for them.
Get the hardware configuration

It will also automatically copy the hardware configuration from /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix to ./hosts/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix so that the hardware configuration used is yours and not the default one.
Choose a host (desktop / laptop)

Now you will need to choose the host you want. It depend on whether you are using a desktop or laptop.
Build the system

Lastly, it will build the system, which includes both the flake config and home-manager config.
