NixOS Adventures: Fidgeting with Flakes
The NixOS Challenge Continues through the end of April! It's been over two weeks and I'm slowly unraveling the powers of NixOS.
Jupiter Broadcasting announced a community-wide NixOS challenge for the month of April and here to finally kick it off I'm spinning up a KDE Plasma instance of NixOS and have goals of later installing server functionality and extending the home-manager capabilities!
I'll be using a Virtualbox VM and a Plasma KDE installation with MBR/BIOS due to the constraints of Virtualbox. In future streams I hope to capture an installation of UEFI on my laptop!
