Directory Structure

• base directory:
  Shared configurations across all hosts are stored in this directory.

• desktop and laptop directories:
  Host-specific configuration files for the 'nix-desktop' and 'nix-laptop' hosts are contained in these directories. Each holds its configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix to tailor settings per device.

• desktop_environments directory:
  Houses a collection of available desktop environments, including GNOME, KDE, and potentially more. Each environment has its configuration.nix and home.nix.

• scripts directory:
  Stores miscellaneous scripts, offering additional functionalities or utilities for the system.

How to set up a machine with this config:

1. Install NixOS on your machine
2. Add this to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

   nix = {
   extraOptions = ''
     experimental-features = nix-command flakes
   '';
   };
   

3. Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch
4. Enter shell with nix-shell -p git and clone this repo (make sure to init all submodules!)
5. change the "username" variable in flake.nix to your desired user name
6. Modify desktop/configuration.nix and/or laptop/configuration.nix: remove my driver configurations and add your own
7. Copy your hardware configuration into appropriate profile e.g. if using nix-desktop, place it in desktop/ sudo cp /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix ~/[path to this repo]/desktop/
8. Run sudo nix flake update to update packages
9. Run sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nix-desktop to apply configuration to OS
10. If everything works, remove non-flake NixOS configuration sudo rm -rf /etc/nixos/

After Setup

1. To update packages run 'update'
2. To switch to new configuration run 'switch'
