NixDots

This is my personal NixOS configuration/dotfiles using Flakes and Home Manager. I'm also making use of Disko to declaratively partition and format disks using Nix. Feel free to use my configuration as you wish and star the repo to show support. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated!

Why NixOS?

Here's a couple of reasons why I considered using NixOS and eventually moved to it from Arch Linux. There are many more benefits of using NixOS but these are the most common.

• Does not break / Easy to recover - Rebuilding NixOS creates a new generation while preserving the previous generation. This allows the user to easily rollback to the previous generation if things go awry by choosing it in the boot menu.

• Reproducibility: It's very easy to have identical systems. All you do is fetch someone's NixOS configuration and rebuild your system using it.

• Huge Package Repository: Nixpkgs has over 100,000 software packages that you can install with the Nix package manager. It's the largest software repository in existence as of now, even larger than the mighty AUR
