- NixOS installed and running
- Flakes enabled
[!warning] Note: Don't copy the nixos directory as the configs are suited for my personal computer especially the
hardware.nixfile.
git clone https://github.com/Mbhon1/nixOS-dots.gitcd nixOS-dotscp -r ags $HOME/.configcp -r desk hyprland packages terminal utils *.nix $HOME/.config/home-manager
In the flake.nix and home.nix change my username to the one you use on your computer, double check to avoid any errors before running the below commands.
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#yourUsernameto apply system configs.home-manager switch --flake .#yourUsername@hostnameto apply home-manager configs.
Who doesn't like flatpak? I use flatpaks for a few apps that work out the box like OBS-Studio and Whatsapp to name a few. Search their website for apps and how to run them, I'm just showing how to install/activate flatpak on nixOS.

An example of how to add apps via flatpak

Big s/o to these guys dots, they really helped me setup my own little nixOS environment. I drew a lot of inspiration and borrowed a few lines of code, thank you guys!
- Make a script for easy installation for other users.
- Migrate the rest of my arch dotfiles to .nix.
- Fix steam and integrate with .nix.
