## Installation
> Requires a NixOS install.
1. **Clone the repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/peritia-system/NixOS-95.git NixOS
cd NixOS
```
2. **Regenerate hardware configuration**:
```bash
sudo nixos-generate-config --dir Configurations/Hosts/Default
```
3. **Build and switch to the system configuration**:
```bash
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#default
```
4. **Apply user settings with Home Manager**:

Due to how **Home Manager** and XFCE handle theming, changes may not fully apply on the first attempt.
**For best results:**
1. Rebuild twice
2. Log out and back in after each rebuild

## Final Thoughts
This setup was built for my boyfriend to use during school.
I love how this setup turned out—it's nostalgic and clean, so I wanted to give more people the opportunity to use it.
Hope you enjoy it!
