This is my personal dotfiles made with Nix

Installation

• 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 gtklock

  • 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="24.11"
  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
  sudo -i nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-${NIX_VERSION} nixpkgs
  nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-${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

• Clone this repository

  git clone https://github.com/saveside/dots.nix
  cd dots.nix

• Switch this flake

  home-manager switch --no-out-link --flake .#savew-notebook

• Enjoy!
