## 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**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
home-manager switch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Rebuild Notes
|
|
|
|
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!
