## Nix Systems
Thanks for taking a look at my Nix* flake!
While this is primarily organized for my own use, you may find each individual service or config useful to read, reference, learn from, and adapt for your own systems.
This config is primarily organized for my own use, you may find individual services or config useful to read, reference, and adapt for your own systems.
### Installation
You can install this flake from any system with Nix installed, including any ISO.
You can install this flake from any system with the Nix package manager installed, including any official images.
Disko is used to automatically format your drive according to a declared config.
Use ``nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko/latest -- --mode destroy,format,mount ./filename.nix`` to format the disk with Disko.
You will want to generate a hardware-config.nix file using ``nixos-generate-config --root ./ --no-filesystems``, and adapt it to fit the format of ``/hosts``, adjusting for your specific system.
After, the install can be finished with ``nixos-install --root /mnt --flake .#host``, where ``host`` is a hostname defined in this flake.
You will likely want to generate a per hardware nix file using ``nixos-generate-config --root ./ --no-filesystems``, and adapt it to fit the format of ``/hosts``, to ensure essential drivers are loaded on boot.
Once formatted and adjusted, NixOS can be installed to the mounted drive with ``nixos-install --root /mnt --flake .#host``, where ``host`` is a hostname defined in this flake.
### Usage
Home-Manager is handled with the system, but can be used on other systems with Nix without root.
A rebuild of a user's home is done with ``nh home switch . -c user``, where user is defined under ``homeConfigurations`` in the flake.

My config pirmarily uses these tools:
``Niri`` - Window manager / Desktop
``Sway`` - Window manager / Desktop
``ZSH`` - Primary shell
``Foot`` - Terminal emulator
``Rofi`` - App launcher and menu system
