Yeah, I destroyed my system completely multiple times while building this, so I am not sure about the claims of update atomicity. But flakes are definitely reproducible which is neat.
Like this 👀
Its basically default Plasma 6 Breeze with some light modifications. The idea here was to create a good looking DE that (mostly) doesnt break within the next patch, so I didnt go overboard with any of the modifications.

Warning
Since parts of this config are private you`ll have to substitute some imports in the config to make it work. Notably, the dotfiles also reference my main username.
- Use the nixos iso installer to get the basic system
sudo nixos-generate-config- Edit the initial config to get git and add the desired hostname in networking.hostname
sudo nixos-rebuild switch- Reboot
- Generate a new ssh key and register it to your github/gitlab account
- Clone the nixos-config repo via ssh into
~/git/nixos-config(yes the path is important) - In the hosts folder, add a folder for the given hostname and within it the
hardware-configuration.nixfrom the initial config - Populate the hostname folder with
system,configuration.nixandhome.nixfiles from another host and adapt them as necessary sudo nixos-rebuild switch --install-bootloader --flake .- Reboot for good measure
nix-rb- Log into vivaldi or your favorite browser, sync settings, (maybe try out my style)
- Done, enjoy :)
Whenever you change and rebuild a flake, make sure to look at the memory usage of the system.
You might have assigned a variable at the wrong place and created an infinite tree thats about to fill up your swapfile :)
I mainly learned Nix from Ampersand's and Vimjoyer's YouTube videos as well as these repos:
