In the file at 1:01, shouldn't `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem` be `pkgs.lib.nixosSystem`? Otherwise, the variable `pkgs` which is defined in the `let` block is never used.

so basically I can fresh install nixos, apply an configuration file and have everything I need to start using my machine?

Amazing content, just what I wanted to understand.

I got some strange yellow warnings after installation...

this works on cromebooks?

Arch is much better

NixOS is allowing me to test Hyprland while still having GNOME as the default: I've just created a specialization. It's impressive how easy it is to do those things. Thanks for your videos on Hyprland.

integrating stylix into waybar

can you provide a simple example of using writeShellApplication and using them without adding it to the systemPackages ?

Can you do a vid where your going to deleting list of generations with specific including home manager garbage also clean garbage from store

Can I have it in macos ?

Gotta trust in that helmet

Instead of using sed to remove quotes, you can use `jq --raw-output`.

2 quick questions: 1. What if using zsh in stead of bash when using WriteShellApplication? Thank you! 2. Can define shell env be used repeately? Or using other method such as devbox, conda or even in container? Thank you twice!

Дякую!

Just last weekend I write a small script using fuzzel(like dmenu) to do power management. I'm soooo sure this should be some builders instead of runCommandNoCC to copy file to $out/bin, and I just cann't find one. Thank you man!

Pumped to see otter-nvim getting some love! Have you found a good way to get nixfmt to play nice with it? In my experience, otter only works with comments declaring the language type when the string starts on the same line as the comment, which nixfmt changes But, I am pretty new to neovim and decoded to use nixvim for my first config, which may not have been the best idea for ease of troubleshooting. So this could just be an mis configuration on my end. I see nix’s treesitter grammar only recently got support for language embedding comments formatted the way nixfmt does. I am using nixos-24.05, which has this feature in its treesitter grammar. Can’t post links for fear of shadow banning, but there’s issue #179 on nixfmt’s github for reference

YOOO SPONSORED!

May bottles be used to run stuff like Fusion360?

cargo install cargo-mommy

Your videos get me really excited to try nixos, then I boot into my nixos vm, try to do something and hate it. I love the concept and I will stay subscribed but it seems like I am just too much of a dum dum to put these tutorials into action.

Even if the tooling for this exists now, I just don't see the appeal of embedding code from one language in another, especially if that code represents a standalone script or application. I'd much rather handle my scripts like a package in one or more git repos and specify their dependencies how to build them in nix. This way people/systems not using nix can more easily use them.

Awesome !

Nix can also make C and Haskell "scripts", and yes, it's so cool that you can use compiled languages as though they were shell scripts. Honestly makes me want to try replacing NixOS's stage 1 init bash script with a statically compiled binary.

I was wondering how I was gonna deal with my mess of scripts…and now I wanna not just put them in Nix but rewrite them in Rust just because…

One of my fav channels at the moment. Keep up the great work.

If you enjoy this video

Great video as always!

Does inline language highlighting work in Emacs Nix-mode?

Honey, a new vimjoyer video just dropped, time to get even more esoteric about how you treat computing!

Yay, Vimjoyer got a sponsorship! Congrats!

omg i just switched to nix last night and im greeted by a new vimjoyer video! excited to continue learning!!

What am I supposed to put in ~/dotfiles? Just the flake or the entire /etc/nixos?

Please create an advanced tutorial 🤧

doesnt work lmao

I've been considering setting up a separate system for schoolwork and this seems like a really good option! We'll see if wayland lives up to the hype

You explain complicated concepts in such a easy way, natural Talent in teaching! Please make more such excellent videos. I finally decided to try Nixos, as a result of your videos, so helpful!

I am using keyd a few weeks ago. and consider it is better. Please comments if I am wrong.

Rather than an ISO image, I instead made a netboot image packaged into a UKI that now lives in my boot partition. Perhaps the craziest part is how thanks to kexec, it might be possible for me to turn this rescue image into my boot manager, since it can mount my root filesystem and access the kernels on it while GRUB cannot.

first question I had after seeing you install vim was "how do I know when a new version of vim is out? does Nix have a service that notifies me and then I have to nixos-rebuild again?". But curious how this actually works when using Nix as a desktop.

Honestly probably the simplest most matter of fact intro to Flakes I've pulled up so far. Thank you for this!

Great content, keep it up.

Have you managed to modularize your nixvim config and keep stylix working? I followed a blog post from Valentin Pratz about using "inputs.nixvim.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.makeNixvimWithModule" to allow the config to span multiple files, but stylix doesn't seem to detect and theme nixvim anymore, and I can't work out how to tell it to.

Is there a way to have a secret with multiple lines? In my case, I'm trying to make an environment file with multiple environment variables. If I do a YAML multi-line string, Sops seems to replace the newlines with spaces when it decodes the secret.

please bring us more content about AGS 🙏🙏

At 2:02 you run sops command. Which at that point is not yet available. Should that be just added to systemPackages or just work just with rest of the configuration being done first? Also at 2:44 you are using "inputs" already inside "inputs"? For me this just generates building error: `"sops-nix" is a thunk while a ....` but ommiting it works though.

i am try to read nix doc, watch some nix conference. but still couldn't achive this whole understanding.

Dont i need to configure Wayland first and disable all the xserver stuff ?

I still haven’t tried NixOS (though there’s a fresh VM waiting to have it installed so I can play with it). At 2:30 something hit me: I could just…do both. Right? Comment-out sync or offload parts as needed in my config, then rebuild. Except I know nothing weird should be happening with my system’s state because it’s declarative (and also less prone to my own errors). I do wonder if System76’s tools/drivers set this up by default. When I was looking at their page on how to configure for other distros, and NixOS was a one-liner…really got me curious. Edit: I…see. NixOS has a built-in way to do what I was thinking but with significantly less janky fiddling. That really does drive home how it’s just built different…I love it.
