Actuall good setup of nixos

Had a setup of nixos was trying it out but was always lacking in how to set it up....

now with some more knowledge made this.

Thank the heavens for Wil T for his youtube series on nixos and flakes without it i would have been very lost.

Programs and services i am using

The default install of nixos doesn't have flakes enabled so you need to enable it within configuration.nix

sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix # to open the file

then add this line to the file within the {}

nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];

then run

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

Nixos also doesn't have git nor just installed so install it temporarily using nix-shell -p

nix-shell -p git just

then clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/Waayway/nixos-waayway

then cd into the repo

cd nixos-waayway

then run just install will copy config files and compile the flake for both the home-manager and the system

just install

then reboot and you should be good to go
