🚀 Installation

1. Download and Install NixOS from the official site.
2. Temporarily install ripgrep and fish using the command: nix-shell -p ripgrep fish --run fish. You can also use classic bash and grep for the next step without installing fish and ripgrep.
3. Run the command rg --hidden FIXME and change/add lines to match your device, swaps, partitions, and file systems in the configuration files (/etc/nixos/configuration.nix & /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix).
4. To change the default username and/or hostname, run the command rg --hidden 'xnm' to find and fix all instances of the username, and rg --hidden 'isitreal-laptop' for the hostname. Make sure to change the username to match yours to avoid login issues.
5. Copy all files (with replacements) from the home directory to your $HOME directory in Linux.
6. Copy all files (with replacements) from the nixos directory to /etc/nixos/. It's recommended not to copy and replace hardware-configuration.nix; only copy it if you have already change it for your hardware.
7. Run the command sudo nixos-rebuild switch. After this, you will have a complete system. You can also use flakes after first setup by running sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .# if needed.
