This dotfiles is made for personal use. I use it with Nix Package Manager, so you can use it with NixOS or Nix installed on your system.

First, set up some packages on your system. (I'm using Arch, so you can use this command to install them)
yay -S git curl zsh gtklock polkit-gnome
- We need to install gtklock using the distribution's own package manager. Because the home-manager is not compatible with pam-locking. If you use another distribution, you can install it with your package manager.
-
Set up Nix Package Manager on your system (if you haven't already or you don't have NixOS installed)
NIX_VERSION="unstable" #~ or latest stable version e.g "24.11" curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-${NIX_VERSION} nixpkgs nix-channel --update
-
Enable flake support in Nix
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf
-
Set up home-manager from this source
-
For unstable nixpkgs:
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager nix-channel --update nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install -
For stable nixpkgs:
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-24.11.tar.gz home-manager nix-channel --update nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install
-
-
Switch this flake
home-manager switch --no-out-link --flake github:saveside/dots.nix/unstable#savew-notebook-arch
Note: In this example, you must change username into the hosts/savew-notebook-arch/home/default.nix file.
