I am sorry, but is this a Nixos tutorial for "beginners" ????!!!!!

Please! Make your tapping more louder. I can't hear it. Reload all your videos with only tapping noice. (sarcasm)

This is pretty incredible. I initially skipped over this video and just threw the official NixOS image onto an SD card and put it on my Pi 4, but was disappointed to find out it didn't come with NetworkManager so I couldn't easily connect to my wifi. Came back to see what it was about, copied your config, added NetworkManager and built it on my laptop (I already have aarch64 emulation enabled) and it works out of the box! Do you know of any options to change the filesystem format, automatically add files, etc? I've been trying to read through nix-generators source and can't find anything.

this is awesome!! keep going good job

I've tried to install via the Live ISO (Plasma) but, I can't even get it to boot! I've tried DD and a few other things but, I just get the black screen. Still trying to find a guide to install Plasma KDE. If I figure it out, I'll definitely follow this guide for the beginning of the install. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the tutorial! Weirdly my steam deck doesnt recognize the built in wifi, neither during the install nor in the installed os. Did you do anything to get wifi working? Or perhaps you have the lcd model?

Thanks for the Video! Keep going!

I feel really dumb watching videos about Nix, especially about flakes. I still don't know what is meant by a 'flake'; even the NixOS wiki is extremely opaque and vague. I completely understand the benefit of having a deterministic system, a software defined OS, but everything about it is impenetrable to me: the syntax, what problem we're solving, upstream packages. The only thing I really like about it is nix shells.

When I try to install it, my computer says "This computer does not satisfy the minimum requirements for installing NixOS" When I'm fully aware it does. Does anyone know how to fix this?

That was perfect. Thank you so much!

I don't have the erase disk option not sure how to do the manual pertations i tryed, /, /boot, but not working

getting an error on raspberry-pi-5 running Debian 12... error: getting status of '/nix/store/ly4s3hw35dd1c2vsd694y2715pc1d2c1-source/nixos/modules/virtualisation/disk-size-option.nix': No such file or directory this is on aarch64, so I'm not sure why it's trying to do any virtualisation.

Great video. One thing to point out, is its best to update the channel in root. For me, I was constantly confused by running nix-channel and getting nothing returned. And it's because I ran without sudo/root, so it was returning what my user has. Which was nothing.

if I understand correctly, balena etcher is not really recommended to create the Live USB as people seem to have issues with Live USBs created with balena or similar tools...

I struggled to get systemd-networkd functioning with a wireguard netdev. (I think something about my impermanence / tmpfs root was causing issue perhaps, interface not being created) So I ended up using wg-quick, though I did need to add "::0/0" to my allowedips. (proton)

That timer is giving me pure anxiety

9:30 wouldn't setting hostSystem be an issue with only a single hash? Because the releases for different architectures would have different hashes

Wake up the dog!!!! 😂

Instead of balena we can use Ventoy. Thanks for sharing.

I'm using Nix in my ubuntu. How do I configure the required settings to add the derivation as a package?

The plasma iso basically bricked my USB when I flashed it with balena etcher. Can't even format it anymore.

4 raspberry pis, 2 other SBCs, 15 years of linux experience, but I still couldn't get this to work. 😢 Still great content! Upvoted!

Hi, please, why have you ran sudo nixos rebuild switch first time but without sudo when rebuilding with docker?

Already learned a lot in the first two tutorials! Thank you :)

Hi, can you give me your insta/fb?

It only work for vitual machine. I tried on my main pc. Calamare couldn't even start. Freeze on running udev ... Starting systemd-udevd version 255.9 Nothing happen then.Frozen. btw i have intel cpu with No integrated. But i have Nvidia gpu. I don't think it doesn't matter. I can install any other distro as usual. This one just broke me

WOuld this work if im currently running FreedomBox on my raspberry pi instead of rapbian

Thank you! No one else explained that I need to manually update the version number. It seems obvious but I just couldn't find confirmation anywhere.

Your videos are awesome covering nixos is hard yet you're doing great job. One thing though, it'd be easier to read if the font was bigger

would be good. if each command reference was in description.

Your video are fire, keep going

Great video as always. I have 2 wishes: 1. a video on organizing the configuration for multiple machines (which don't actually use the same configuration but different ones) 2. a video on nixos-anywhere, where you could use flakes to build one or maybe even multiple hosts from one central system (admin-workstation -> server1..n).

2:54 i think nativeBuildInputs is used for specifying the compiler etc, the buildInputs is used for includes, imports and libs etc.

Struggling to run appimage, thanks to yu

1:03 doesn't arch's pkgbuild files do the same?

I just packaged my first Rust program thanks to this video. It worked perfectly and wasn't super convoluted like some other guides out there. Thanks a ton!! <3

This is dope, I wonder how it interacts with Chaotic Nyx's pkgs like the CachyOS kernel and some of those other modified packages.

Thank you so much, great tutorial! Wish the terminal font was a bit bigger so it could be better watched, but it's super helpful, thank you!

11:18 Command to build and run our package.

6:33 i just noticed that the KDE DE's taskbar looks just like win10's taskbra 👀 the 2 line time/date, the expand accordion arrow, the network widget icon, the glance desktop icon, etc...

5:59 6:05 who's snoring behind u lol 😆

hi! ur videos seem nice. but please try to remove the subtle noise from the audio and boost the volume levels a bit (though, keep the volume levels consistent/normalised throughout the video) 5:59 6:05 who's snoring behind u lol 😆

3:59 watch later

8:41 docker doesn't need to be added in the environments.systemPackages for this to work

4:51 _"sudo -s"_ or _"sudo --shell"_ thanks a lot for showing the Virtual Machine's interface too

0:12 _"let's install portainer"_ waahw, what's port-ainer.

I've been looking for a KZbin channel that provides easy-to-digest videos on useful topics for NixOS. Insta-subscribed to you, please keep making useful videos like this. I love it ❤

God's work

needed to add this to get the vlans to show up on my rp4: boot.kernelModules = [ "8021q" ];

Thanks for this! Also I'm wondering if you can help with this: I'm trying to connect to my uni's wifi, but the captive portal doesn't show. Any ideas on this?
