# NixOS & Home-Manager Configuration

![nixos-logo](assets/nixos-official-logo.png)

My [NixOS](https://nixos.org/) and [Home-Manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) config files.
Based upon [Misterio77's starter configs](https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs).

My other configs:
* [neovim](https://github.com/sajenim/neovim-jsm)
* [xmonad](https://github.com/sajenim/xmonad-jsm)

Alternatively [jade](https://github.com/sajenim/jade) provides the plumbing for a desktop environment like experience.  
To be used as a simple home-manager import.

## Installation

    # Clone the configuration files and link them into the NixOS directory
    git clone https://github.com/sajenim/dotfiles.nix.git
    ln -s ~/dotfiles.nix/ /etc/nixos

    # We must be in the repo to access the flake
    cd /etc/nixos

    # Apply the system configuration
    sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#hostname

    # Apply the user configuration
    home-manager switch --flake .#user@hostname

## FAQ
* **What is nix?**  
Nix is a tool that takes a unique approach to package management and system configuration.
* **Nix benefits**  
Nix is reproducible, declarative and reliable.
* **Why flakes?**  
Flakes allow you to specify your code's dependencies (e.g. remote Git repositories) in a declarative way,
simply by listing them inside a flake.nix file.
