Warning

1. While the system when built and configured uses less than 4GB of memory, building it for the first time requires 12GB of memory so its recomended you create a swapfile or add more memory first if you dont have sufficient memory. Otherwise the system will crash while building from out of memory.
2. Before enabling Hyprland, build it first with Hyprland disabled as this will add the Hyprland's Cachix settings so that you dont have to compile Hyprland flake package from scratch. After that initial build, you can enable Hyprland via options.nix.

Note

1. This repository does not include the wallpaper used in the screenshot.
2. Some app themes are configured via account syncing (vscode, google-chrome, etc) and are not configured via home-manager. You have to configure them yourself.
3. Some options.nix are legacy/arent used. Most likely due to WIP.

to enable swap:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=512M count=4 # change this to the amount required
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

to build the system:

# 0. clone repo and edit options:
nix-shell -p git vim tmux htop home-manager #  tmux and htop for monitoring
git clone github.com/SX-9/nix-conf --depth 1
vim options.nix # change the username and hostname here

# 1. hardware config:
nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hardware/scan.nix
git add . -f # (-f)orce add hardware scan as its in .gitignore

# 2. apply nixos config (available flakes: nixos, server, thinkpad)
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos

# 3. apply home config (available flakes: shell, desktop, laptop)
home-manager switch --flake .#shell

or with nixos-anywhere

vim options.nix # change config to enable disko
vim disko/default.nix # change disk partitioning
nixos-anywhere --generate-hardware-config nixos-generate-config ./hardware/scan.nix --flake .#FLAKE --target-host root@HOST
