Attached is a copy of a NixOS (extended) config I am working on for newbies.

The basic config (not attached) does not have Virtual Box, Podman, Distro Box, Ad Guard, iVPN, or Tuta E-mail.

Naturally, the basic config will be the 1st choice, with explanation as to why someone may want the 2nd, even if to use it as an example.

This is still not finished. I need to include both the option for Intel and Nvidia driver support. Naturally, those will be commented out in the final version, outlining the user to pick and enable what they want.

#NixOS #Nix #Linux

Any #NixOS users out there with a working disko config (native encryption) that they successfully installed from semi-recently?

The one I had been using for a long time seems to no longer work - specifically when used to deploy NixOS as a clean installation..

Was hoping to compare mine to one that someone else has recently been able to deploy - just as I know ZFS with native encryption is a not particularly "popular" setup!

Owning a Macbook Air now means I can repurpose the laptop (that I WAS going to make my primary #Windows mobile workstation for regular computer stuff) into a Linux one for play. The question is, do I go with #nixos/#nixbook or #fedora42 plasma - the latter is something I just have been wanting to install forever because it's stable and well respected. But then so is Mint. But then I've already "done" Mint. But then.. god.

@codemonkeymike CONVINCE ME of something here. Which DE is nixbook?

On the flip side, I figured out how to borrow a #NixOS module from the future!

disabledModules = [
  "services/mail/stalwart-mail.nix"
];

And then I can add "${inputs.nixpkgs-unstable}/nixos/modules/services/mail/stalwart-mail.nix" to my configuration's imports. This effectively replaces 24.11's module with unstable's.

This will be useful knowledge in the future, not just for playing with Stalwart!

Hello from Hachyderm! It's a new server, so how about a new #introduction? I'm a #Drupal dev and #Linux freak with an interest in #FOSS and experimental literature. I blog sometimes and am trying to carve out my own little home on the indie web.

I am the maintainer of the new Node Swapper module for Drupal (drupal.org/project/node_swappe) and I am currently returning to #NixOS and #KDE after a several year hiatus from both.

Hello! I'm looking forward to meeting all of the new folks on this server.
