NixOS system config & Home-Manager user config (by fufexan)

Project mention: NixOS-generators – Collection of VM and Container disk image builders for NixOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-26

I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.
Some specific ones I really like:
https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs
https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:
https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix
If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)
Some other unsolicited tips:
1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration
2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin
3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding
Good luck!

❄️ my nix config for both desktops(NixOS+macOS) and homelab servers(NixOS). (by ryan4yin)

Project mention: I finally understand the "I use Arch, btw" thing | /r/archlinux | 2023-08-22

I've been trying to daily drive Linux for the past 2 months or so. Started out on EndeavourOS and didn't had any problems until I tried to make it useable in secure boot (I really want to play Valorant and not bother each time switching secure boot in bios) and failed miserably due to a combination of lack of knowledge and stupidity. I briefly tried NixOS and while this config is beautiful, I just didn't enjoy the way NixOs is customized.

Project mention: How do I install flakes.nix dotfiles? | /r/NixOS | 2023-08-30

I'm wondering if I am starting to get too old to learn new things but could someone ELI5 me how to install dotfiles like these? I feel like I should get this at this point but at least I can install nixOS and setup my WM and apps manually now so at least that's something.
