NixOS Dotfiles

The package manager Nix, and the OS built around it; NixOS, work by focusing the whole of the system's configuration on just a few, functionally-programmed files that'll reproduce the exact system you want.

This offers immutability and testability, which is a great strength for workstations.

These are those files.

NOTICE

If you wish to use this, CHANGE `nixos/hardware-configuration FOR YOUR OWN.*** It contains hard drive GUID labels, which you do not have. This can bork your install.
