  • The Determinate Nix Installer

    Now that this binary installer exists I would definitely recommend it.

    I’ve deleted Homebrew from my system and I’m now using the same home-manager setup for my macOS laptops as well as my WSL installation on windows.

    It’s so great to have the exact same tools and shell configuration installed everywhere.

    I have not used flakes yet but if that will help me deal with the differences between my systems I’m definitely for it!

    E.g I have a work Mac, personal Mac, personal PC with WSL.

    When on my work machine, usernames are different and my Git config should identify me as me, and I shouldn’t have access to my personal credential for personal GitHub, RSA private keys for personal servers, etc.

    But all else should be the same.

    Mostly there but the credentials part I am still figuring out.

    If you want to check it out, it’s here: https://github.com/leonbreedt/dotfiles

    Won’t work for you out of the box tho as it depends on private repo for sensitive configs.
