  1. Any tips and tricks for using for : when the "mother flake" flake lives on a public repo & is set up to provide multiple for different machines built using:
    nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<machine_name>
    I dug myself into a hole by copying the files from the mother flake repo to set up a new machine and the flake on my new machine has diverged & cannot be merged back into the mother flake repo because I did not *clone* it down so has no common git history

  2. @rachel The point of #NixOS is to #bootsrap and #customize things. So that ur #configurations become #portable and works on everyone's #machine. In this sense #Bazzite, #SteamOS all can just do their own configurations, kernels etc in the Nix way. So comparing NixOS with Bazzite or anything else is not the right way.
    For example, u can produce Bazzite, #Arch whatever with #Nix. Because NixOS is just a #declarative configuration by using #Nix.

  3. @thelinuxcast All the best. Hope u start understanding the #declarative way of doing things in #NixOS with #Nix
    Here's a tip:
    Set users mutable to false. So that u declaratively do #everything in the #config #file instead of #imperative methods. Also give #hashed #passwords if u are #porting between another PCs and want them to #work similarly.
    To put it simply, do everything in nix #configurations to change the #state of the #system.
