This dotfiles is made for my personal use. I use it with Nix Package Manager, so you can use it with NixOS or Nix installed on your system.

msi-h510m-pro-nixos	Desktop pc running a Intel i5-11400, 32GB of RAM and a MSI RX570 OC Edition 4GB
msi-h510m-pro-fedora	Same as msi-h510m-pro-nixos but running Fedora instead of NixOS

Installation

NixOS Setups

• First, clone this repository to your system

  git clone <this-repo>
  cd dotfiles.nix

• Then, set up user and system configurations

  • For user configuration, change the username in the users/ and hosts/YOUR_CONFIG/home directory
  • For system configuration, change the hosts/ directory

• After that, you can switch the configuration like below:

  sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#msi-h510m-pro-nixos

Darwin Setups

• First, clone this repository to your macOS system

  git clone <this-repo>
  cd dotfiles.nix

• Then, set up nix and nix-darwin on your macOS system (if you haven't already)

  NIX_VERSION="25.11" #~ or your desired Nix version like "25.05"
  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
  
  # relogin or restart your terminal session to have nix command available
  sudo nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-${NIX_VERSION} nixpkgs
  sudo nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin/archive/nix-darwin-${NIX_VERSION}.tar.gz darwin
  sudo nix-channel --update
  nix-build '<darwin>' -A darwin-rebuild

• Enable flake support in Nix

  echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf

• Then, set up user and system configurations

  • For user configuration, change the username in the users/ and hosts/YOUR_CONFIG/home directory
  • For system configuration, change the hosts/ directory

• After that, you can switch the configuration like below:

  sudo darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#macbook-m3-air-work

Home Manager only Setups

• First, set up some packages on your system. (I'm using Fedora, so you can use this command to install them)

  sudo dnf install git curl fish swaylock mate-polkit

  • We need to install swaylock, mate-polkit and fish using the distribution's own package manager. Because the home-manager is not compatible with pam-locking. If you use another distribution, you can install it with your package manager.

• Set up Nix Package Manager on your system (if you haven't already or you don't have NixOS installed)

  NIX_VERSION="25.11" #~ or your desired Nix version like "25.05"
  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
  nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-${NIX_VERSION} nixpkgs
  nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-${NIX_VERSION}.tar.gz home-manager
  nix-channel --update
  nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install

• Enable flake support in Nix

  echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf

• Switch this flake

  home-manager switch --no-out-link --flake github:mt190502/dotfiles.nix/unstable#msi-h510m-pro-fedora

  Note: In this example, you must change username into the hosts/msi-h510m-pro-fedora/home/default.nix file.
