Nix Configuration

This is a fork from kclejeune/system. Thank you @kclejeune for helping me set it up. Due to the complexity of the original repo (well, just for me), my intention is to simplify the set up and also learn me some Nix on the way

NOTE: I'm using macOS and haven't tested Linux config.

Requirement

• Install Nix:

# multi-user
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

• Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/bangedorrunt/nix.git ~/.nixpkgs

• Update

NOTE: remove flake.lock if existed

cd ~/.nixpkgs

nix build .\#brunetdragon@x86_64-darwin
