Request: NixOs

• Download ISO.

wget -O https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-24.05/latest-nixos-minimal-x86_64-linux.iso

• Boot Into the Installer.

• Switch to Root: sudo -i

• Partitions:

I prefer to use 1GB on the EFI partition. Specifically because the 'generations' list may become very long, and to avoid overloading the partition.

# Replace nvme with your disk partition
gdisk /dev/nvme0n1

- `o` (create new partition table)
- `n` (add partition, 512M, type ef00 EFI)
- `n` (add partition, remaining space, type 8300 Linux)
`w` (write partition table and exit)

• Format Partitions:

mkfs.fat -F 32 -n EFI /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.xfs -L NIXOS /dev/nvme0n1p2

• Mount Partitions:

mount /dev/disk/by-label/NIXOS /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI /mnt/boot

• Enable nixFlakes

nix-shell -p nixVersions.stable git

• Clone my Dotfiles

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/linuxmobile/kaku /mnt/etc/nixos

• Generate your Own Nix Hardware Settings:

sudo nixos-generate-config --dir /mnt/etc/nixos/hosts/aesthetic

# Remove configuration.nix
rm -rf /mnt/etc/nixos/hosts/aesthetic/configuration.nix

• Install Dotfiles Using Flake

# Move to folder
cd mnt/etc/nixos

# Install
nixos-install --flake .#aesthetic

• Reboot

• Change Default password for User.

passwd YourUser

• Install w/ Home-Manager the config

home-manager switch --flake 'github:linuxmobile/kaku#linudev@aesthetic'

If you're using this NixOS configuration flake locally, you can simplify the process of switching and managing your system using nh, a CLI helper for Nix Flakes.

To switch your system configuration with nh, use:

nh os switch .#aesthetic

Similarly, to apply home-manager configurations:

nh home switch .#linudev@aesthetic

This avoids needing to type out the full nixos-rebuild or home-manager commands manually and provides a cleaner workflow when iterating on your setup.

💡 Make sure nh is installed in your system environment or user profile.
