Nix Setup

My nix config for NixOS and Home Manager (NixOS module and standalone options).

Note: This uses Colemak-DH-ISO keyboard layout by default.

Related files: keyboard.nix

Install

Warning

Do not use this flake if you don't know how to use NixOS. You will end up with a broken generation because of the hardware specific files.

Important

If you reinstall NixOS with encryption, you will need to copy the hardware-configuration.nix file from /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix to the profile directory and update the UUIDs in host/{profile}/default.nix or you won't be able to boot.

Note

You need to add --impure flag if you are using an Asahi profile, because the flake references external firmware directory.

sudo NIX_CONFIG="experimental-features = nix-command flakes" \
    nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:jaycem-dev/nix#profile

Replace profile with one of the profiles below.

Available profiles (defined in flake.nix):

NixOS (with HM as module)	Home Manager standalone
desktop	TODO
asahi (arm64)
