Thank you for another wonderful video on NixOS

Stylix ❤

As a UI/UX buff, this is a game changer.

love u

Amazing rice fellow gruvbox enjoyer)

Please a tutorial to install nixos using virtual machine on windows like hyper-v

"You obviously don't want monospace font in your browser..." Me : yes, I use monospace fonts in everything 🗿

hey, do you know if there’s a way to change symlink for /bin/sh? I wanted to set dash as my background shell

where can you get a list of apps that work with stylix?

Messed around with this... If you have already configured setup, this is useless.

🐐

Thank you, I'm actually messing with Nix theming and this comes very handy as I'm doing a terrible job at it :)

thats op

Thanks... i never been properly able to theme anything in linux.. and even more when i switched nix.. this makes my life complete... only if this worked.. i copied my wallpaper to same dir to the config still getting thie error getting status of '/nix/store/9bh7sz8g9pfcibn24l89cr2bky0vkc67-source/nixos/wallpaper.png': No such file or directory, i am still a noob so no idea what's the issue

I have one request can you create a video differentiating Nix base setup and Flakes? what is the difference actually there is.

if possible can you please do a video on ags or eww bar ?

Have you thought about creating a series for people who are comfortable with other distros, but totally noobs with nix? Like start from the very basics of Nix language all the way to an advanced config (python development environment, vms, etc) with flakes and all? Your videos are a true treasure, keep up the good work!

This is so useful! Thank you so much for making a vid on this!

my Nix config has a very bad code style and it's been in the process of being rewritten for about 4 months now (which means I haven't updated my system in a very long time). I just don't feel motivated enough to continue if I know that fixing 1 error will create another... and I also have to live with some bugs that could easily be fixed, if only I had a stable configuration

got that nix drip

what is the pro of using the home-manager in this system?

Everything I've tried from this vid works for me, except the gtk icons derivation process. It builds and I've confirmed the SHA256, but still seems to have no effect on icons anywhere on my system.

Bro can you do a favor and keep the good job. ur going well with contents, don't stop!

all i got was a ton of errors. nix is a pain in the behind. wish the docs were clearer.

Hello, mate. I have been using NixOS since 17/05/24 and I already have 10 generations, but I want to just keep 3. So, my question is: *What file do I have to configure to that and what do I have to write there, please?*

Don't the nh clean command deletes the generations from the boot menu

6:25 Thanks for the curry!

The only issue I had was that, for some reason, Baldurs Gate 3 refuses to launch on NixOS (both flatpak and steam).

What is better for gaming ? Gnome or Plasma ? Any suggestions ?

Please make hyprland and waybar customization guide too

i wish i watched this before bruteforcing essentially the first half of the video by trial and error! thanks for an excellent overview

Very well explained. Your initial comment about being on the 3rd page of <search engine name> still holds true nearly a year later.

Lol. Why is it that I get the english but not the logic!! 😅

did you trick me into installing spyware with your tutorials? because every time i have a NixOS question, you upload a video about it

Really loved the bob example just to show how to do it with any variable. Although I'm curious if you could do "bob.default" so you don't have to use the "#" in the command or would it need to be the whole "devshells.bob.default". What if it was just "devShells.bob"? Just curious since I'm just learning this.

Coming back a week later the GUI installer for NixOS has a few flaws. 1. It won't configure any filesystem other than ext4. 2. Even if you partition it yourself with gparted, which in in the installation system, it won't accept it. Neither with doing it with CLI tools like fdisk, gparted or parted. 3. If you try to use the manual method within Calemares, the installation tool, it will brick the system and won't let you boot after installation. Part of it could be that you can't create the small 1Mb or less of empty space at the beginning of the drive for alignment purposes. Because of these issues I just used the GUI installer for a bit before learning how to install things with the minimal installer. Although you might still want to use the GUI installer and just do everything from the terminal since that way you have access to a browser and can copy and paste things a lot easier. With using the preconfigured option that the GUI installer gives you I was able to have an example of what the configuration looked like with the desktop installed and stuff which helped me know how to configure stuff from tty or terminal only. While not as good as the Arch installation guide the NixOS one on their wiki is good enough to get you started.

this is not worth using i already got nixos setup and now switching it all to homemanager and flakes is not worth it i have to take LSD to be able to figurethis out liek wtf

Why did you use eww instead of eww-wayland

have you considered making a psa video about the official nixos wiki? it seems like you have a fair share of nixos newbie traffic so i think it would help get the new wiki to appear over the old one in search results

I’ve been so interested in getting into NixOS, but steamVR without async reprojection is a dealbreaker, so I’ll stick to arch for the foreseeable future.

This pill is gold! 🙌

Hello how can i declare configuration sidebery extension ? I want to add custom css for it

Just getting into NixOS. Why do you say options like `qt.enable` need to be in your home manager? From what I can tell it can just be in your configuration.nix file, or is it more about creating modularity?

Linux is for lowend gamer, if you want quality like all new Features from nvidia, only windows is the way. Nvidia, HDR, VRR, RTX HDR, DLSS Rayreconstruction, Framegeneratin, GPU undervolting or OC, all together you dont get it at once in linux. Even in 2030 you wont get. The communtity is big on linux but they dont put the efford together. Also to much distros, then not equal kernel version, moddified kernels.... Wayland, x11 or much more, whats the right to choose. Noway, stay away as a gamer from linux if you want quality gaming.

Like for Ukrainian UI🇺🇦

Good things come in small packages - this is actually pretty awesome

Do I still need to add home-manager package in system packages with this approach? I cannot run 'home-manager' commands
