Sakamoto NixOS

Sakamoto NixOS is built with various profiles intended for reproducibility.

Available Hosts

• MacBook M series
• Linux

Installation

1. Install Nix.

2. Ensure Nix is installed properly by running the following (this also gives you nano for editing later):

   nix-shell -p nano
   

3. Clone the git repository:

   git clone https://git.sakamoto.dev/kenji/nixos.git ~/.config/nixos && cd ~/.config/nixos/
   

4. Copy info.default.nix and rename it to info.local.nix:

   cp ~/.config/nixos/info.default.nix ~/.config/nixos/info.local.nix
   

   🚨 CRITICAL STEP: Edit info.local.nix:

   nano ~/.config/nixos/info.local.nix
   

   Modify it to fit your system — especially your username.
   If you accidentally leave the default biscuit, that user will be created.
   Login password for biscuit is <PLACEHOLDER>.

5. Execute the following command based on your host:

   • MacBook M series:

     sudo nix run nix-darwin --extra-experimental-features "nix-command flakes" -- switch --flake ~/.config/nixos#macos
     

   • Linux:

     sudo nixos-rebuild --flake ~/.config/nixos#desktop --impure
     sudo nix run home-manager -- init --switch
     home-manager switch --flake ~/.config/nixos#desktop --impure
     nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos nix-channel --update 
     reboot
