TheaninovOS

A NixOS based OS you can configure.

Rebuild the configuration

home-manager switch --flake ~/.config/home-manager

Make sure new files are added to git

Initial Setup on a new machine

Enable flakes

configuration.nix

nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];

sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos
sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable nixpkgs

git clone git@github.com:Theaninova/home-manager-config.git ~/.config/home-manager
cd ~/.config/home-manager
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#MONSTER

After that reload the shell

Updating the system

# in your config folder
nix flake update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#

Cleaning your system

Cachix is down

By default nix will just crash if cachix is down even if you don't have to fetch anything from it. Use --option build-use-substitutes false to temporarily disable it.

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --option build-use-substitutes false --flake .#

Find (accidental) folders holding your gc back

sudo nix-store --gc --print-roots | grep /home

Remove old generations

sudo nix-collect-garbage -d

Cleanup store

nix-store --gc
