While this is primarily organized for my use only, you may find each individual service file or user config to be a good starting point, or something to take and adapt into your own config.

### Installation ### Installation
Installing any of my flakes onto a system should be done after any initial install. I would opt to do a minimal install, but this is up to you.

After installing NixOS, backup your hardware-config.nix file, so you can adapt it to fit the format of ``nixos/hardware/machines``, then adjusting the other referenced files in the flake.nix file to reference your specific computer.

An initial install will have to be ran as ``nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos/.#HOSTNAME``, where HOSTNAME is a hostname defined in your flake. You may also have to enable "experimental" features with a flag, such as nix-command and flakes.

A rebuild of a user's home would have to be done with ``home-manager switch --flake /etc/nixos``. This will pull the config as defined in the flake as ``USER@HOSTNAME``, where USER is the user running the ``home-manager`` command.

### Credits
Without the help of heavy inspiration, I would not have been able to learn and get up and running nearly as quickly. My most heavily borrowed configs are as follows:
[CloudyChris' nix-starter-configs fork](https://github.com/CloudyChris/NixOsConfig), the very initial base of my conversion to flakes.
[WillPower3309's personal flake](https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx) for being a pleasure in the SwayFX Discord and having a really nice flake.nix file I borrowed from.
[Jules Sommer's minimal flake](https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx) for giving me a good basis for writing individual files and repeatedly helping me throughout the entire process.
