How does nix work

Configuration

• Users adding to

  users.users.<name> = {
  isNormalUser = true;
  extraGroups = [ "wheel" ]; #Enables sudo for the user;
  packages = with pkgs; [
  ];
  }

  nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos -L then passwd <name>

• GUI adding

  services.pipewire = {
  enable = true;
  pulse.enable = true;
  };
  
  services.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
  services.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;
  services.xserver.xkb.layout = "se"

• Video drivers NVIDIA

  hardware = {
  enableAllFirmware = true;
  graphics = {
      enable = true;
      enable32Bit = true;
  };
  };
  
  services.xserver.videoDrivers = [ "nvidia" ];
  hardware.nvidia = {
  modesetting.enable = true;
  open = true; # If you are able to, needs an RTX
  nvidiaSettings = true;
  package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.stable; # https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/os-specific/linux/nvidia-x11/default.nix for versions available
  };

• Video drivers AMD

  hardware.amdgpu.amdvlk = {
    enable = true;
    support32Bit.enable = true;
  };

• Home-manager in inputs

  home-manager = {
    url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };

  in inputs

  outputs = inputs@{self, nixpkgs, home-manager, ...}: {

  add to configuration

  nix.settings.experimental-features = "nix-command flakes";

  adding home and this to flake

  homeConfigurations = {
    nor = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
      inherit pkgs;
      modules = [./home.nix];
    };
  };
