nixos-config VS nixed

I also took a lot of inspiration from this NixOS config that I think demonstrates a lot of things you can do with them.

Check this repo for reference https://github.com/MatthiasBenaets/nixos-config

The other one I've seen seems more elegant, but I've only seen once and doesn't seem to be fully explain by the author: https://github.com/MatthiasBenaets/nixos-config/blob/master/flake.nix I've tried what he's showcasing here, but it doesn't work the variables are undefined and the tips given by nix-rebuild aren't enough for me to make sense of it.

# nixos-generate-config --root /mnt # git clone https://github.com/matthiasbenaets/nixos-config /mnt/etc/nixos/ (I think this can also be avoided I forgot to check this :| ) # cp /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /mnt/etc/nixos/nixos-config/hosts//. # cd /mnt/etc/nixos/ # nixos-install --flake .#

Check them out here if you want a look.

I don’t like digga myself, but you can check out some of my earlier revisions of my configuration when I was using it. This is the repo.

Check out my Neovim configuration; I think I’ve found a pretty good way of managing all my plugins, LSP servers, and Treesitter parsers declaratively so I don’t have to pull binaries using mason or the provided Treesitter commands.

Inside of your common home.nix file, you can use functions like lib.mkIf and/or lib.mkMerge to conditionally import other files/modules or define options based on the system using attributes like pkgs.stdenv.isLinux; I do this pretty extensively in my own home-manager configurations, check out my kitty configuration for an example. I’m on my phone so I can’t really write any code without it taking a long time, also Reddit formatting sucks.
