A Dendritic NixOs configuration

NixOS is extremly complicated for a beginner like me, I've tried to keep everything as minimal as possible for ease of readability within my configurations. Hope this helps you.

Install

Clone the repo, enter its directory then:

sudo nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' run 'github:nix-community/disko/latest#disko-install' -- --write-efi-boot-entries --flake .#fishspeaker --disk main /dev/nvme0n1

Sometimes, the installer may run of space due to limitations of disko-install, requiring that the entire system be fit into ram (the default tmpfs), if that's the case, try the following:

Enable an external swap device.

sudo swapon /dev/sda1

Remount the nix store.

sudo mount -o remount,size=24G,noatime /nix/.rw-store

Edit the hosts configuration to not include desktop, then build desktop later after boot.
