What to do...

• Home Manager using Nix

  182 5,863 9.8 Nix

  Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

  

What I can suggest is, install Nix on top of Arch and start porting your user config to Nix with Home Manager. Then when you want to just to NixOS you can plug in your Home Manager config so you don't have to figure that out in a distro as hostile to new users as NixOS.

• agenix

  10 1,217 7.5 Nix

  age-encrypted secrets for NixOS and Home manager

One think I saw that I don't recommend is to change your password after installing; that's not very reporoducible, use users.users..hashedPassword or users.users..passwordFile with agenix or sops-nix.

• WorkOS

• sops-nix

  9 1,187 9.1 Nix

  Atomic secret provisioning for NixOS based on sops

One think I saw that I don't recommend is to change your password after installing; that's not very reporoducible, use users.users..hashedPassword or users.users..passwordFile with agenix or sops-nix.

• flake-utils-plus

  Use Nix flakes without any fluff.

For flakes you don't have to set up everything manually there are helper libraries, I use flake-utils-plus.
