Installation

This is unchanged of Frost-Phoenix's dots, needs to be remade but don't feel like spending that time currently.

⚠️ Use this configuration at your own risk! ⚠️
Applying custom configurations, especially those related to your operating system, can have unexpected consequences and may interfere with your system's normal behavior. While I have tested these configurations on my own setup, there is no guarantee that they will work flawlessly on all systems.
> I am not responsible for any issues that may arise from using this configuration.

It is highly recommended to review the configuration contents and make necessary modifications to customize it to your needs before attempting the installation.

1. Install NixOS

   First install nixos using any graphical ISO image.

2. Clone the repo

   nix-shell -p git
   git clone https://github.com/ahwxorg/nixos-config
   cd nixos-config
   

3. Install script

   TODO: change the install script to work with all hosts, allow for new host creation, etc.

   Execute and follow the installation script :

   ./install.sh
   

4. Reboot

5. Manual config

Even though I use home manager, there is still a little bit of manual configuration to do, namely SSH keys and browser configuration.
