installing

use the repo url "git+https://git.disroot.org/tumble/linux-config?ref=nixos" or clone the repository to a local directory

• if you're using this as a nix system config, run: sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake <repo>
• if you're using this as a home manager config, run: home-manager --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" switch --flake <repo>

updating

if you've pulled from the url, you can pull updates by running the install command again with --refresh. if you have a local repo, you can just git pull, or make any other changes you want, then run the install command.

modifying

machine and user configuration is done in flake.nix. nixos configuration is done by hostname, and home configuration is done by username.

if you want to override the hostname or user to install as, add #<host> to the install path.

setting up nixos

todo: turn the scripts/server-install into generic instal steps create a disko config run the disko config through the nix-comunity flake to format and moun the disks for you run nixos-generate-config --no-filesystems and obtain the state version from configuration.nix and get the hardware-configuration.nix file from the generated /mnt/etc/nixos, or just use --show-hardware-config

things that don't work

impermanence

• had to fight with it until syncthing worked

hyprland

• stuck to one workspace without setting up binds to put thing in workspace
• no bar by default

gnome

• its ok
• it works

librewolf

• no matter what way you install it, it's missing its config and the extension store doesnt work

lapce

• the "workspace tabs" (tabs that seem to be above everything), only appear if you run lapce <dir> while lapce is open
  • and then there's a + for creating more
• the file explorer only lets you open files and not delete, move, or create files and folders
• discard changes does work

vscode

• really good, but its electron

sddm

• looks bad when you dont also have plasma enabled

kate

• it was rigid in some way, i don't remember
• also setting up plugins is nearly as complicated as seting up dependencies in c++ visual studio community
