- Configure
fish:echo "/opt/homebrew/bin/fish" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells chsh -s /opt/homebrew/bin/fish
- Install WezTerm terminfo:
tempfile=$(mktemp) \ && curl -o $tempfile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wez/wezterm/master/termwiz/data/wezterm.terminfo \ && tic -x -o ~/.terminfo $tempfile \ && rm $tempfile
- Open WezTerm—it should start fish and have

:Lazy - Install by hand:
- Tailscale: https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#macos
- Google Chrome
- Disable Firefox title bar
- Add the following snippet at the very bottom of
~/.ssh/config:Host * IdentityAgent "SSH_AUTH_SOCK" - Install Neovim spell files

Note: This uses the sffpc host.
Adjust the host, paths, and URIs accordingly if needed.
- Download the minimal NixOS ISO image and create a bootable USB
- Run the live version from the USB
- Use disko with
nix/disko/sffpc.nixto partition the disk:- Make sure that the
devicevalue innix/disko/sffpc.nixis up to date - Run:
curl -o /tmp/disko.nix https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TymekDev/dotfiles/main/nix/disko/sffpc.nix sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko/latest -- --mode destroy,format,mount /tmp/disko.nix- Verify that
mount | grep /mntshows new entries for/mntand/mnt/boot

/mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nixto this repository - Update
flake.nixto include the added file - Push the updated version
- Run:
- Install the system:
sudo nixos-install --root /mnt --flake github:TymekDev/dotfiles#sffpc --no-write-lock-file
- Set a password for users defined in the configuration:
sudo nixos-enter --root /mnt -c "passwd tymek"
To rebuild the system after making changes run:
nixos-rebuild switch --use-remote-sudo --flake .Note: If you see an error that a file is missing, then make sure it is tracked by git. Flakes are git-aware and the error doesn't suggest that this might be the issue.
- Install WezTerm (on Windows)
- Install WSL
- Open PowerShell
- Run
wsl --list --onlinefor the list of available distros - Install the distro
wsl --install -d <distro>, e.g.wsl --install -d Ubuntu-24.04 - Restart Windows
- After Windows boots up:
- Set a UNIX username and password up
- Run:
sudo apt-get update - Run:
sudo apt-get upgrade
- If necessary, carry certificates over from Windows (see Fixing WSL Certificates)
