NixOS Tutorial - How To Use Channels & Modules

[@markdue9202]

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

[@WhyDoesNothingWork]

Thanks!, In my newer videos the fonts are much bigger

[@tobzdaman619]

You're a gem of a channel! Thanks for this. Mixing unstable and stable channels is something I felt was possible but it's nice to have a concrete example. You also explain things very well :)

[@WhyDoesNothingWork]

Thank you for saying I'm glad this video was helpful, I will be doing one on nix flakes shortly that will also demonstrate this functionality which is accomplished very differently in flakes

[@tobzdaman619]

@@WhyDoesNothingWork I've been struggling very hard to understand how to mix my flakes and non-flakes config together. Right now, I just have a barebones flake which pulls in configuration.nix and that pulls in all the modules.

You explained well, thank you. Do you have to define a package twice: services + environment.systemPackages ? It only works with service or programs. Without entry an app in environment.systemPackages. For example: programs.zsh.enable = true; Or I misunderstood?

[@WhyDoesNothingWork]

No for services that you enable you don't have to specify the package as well, but there is no harm in doing it I both places
