    A few moments later... Man, from all other YT videos that I've watched in search for a clear and solid explanation of the whole process, yours is the one that delivers it. Thanks. (BTW, by the time you recorded this, you were in Australia, if I got it right, but your accent doesn't seem to be from there, much more like an American. Where are you from?)

    The best tutorial on this step out there! - Suggestion: How to install in the same config from booted USB drive using flakes from remote git repo, instead of generated config.

    A quicker and easier way to create a swap file is use fallocate. It just allocates a file of the size you specify no need to write zeros. sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile

    I just installed nix. How do i configure nix by adding etc/nix/nix.conf? Every time I add it to the terminal i receive this message: "zsh: command not found: substituters
    zsh: command not found: trusted-public-keys". I am using Mac OS.

    What do mkswap and swapon configure? if its outside of the domain of an OS, because the configuration somewhat persists and is not defined in the nixox configuration? why can't it be fully defined inside nixos config?

    I feel like installation and set-up should be separate videos. It's particularly hard to find this video for a person looking for home-manager setup.

    me: i probably shouldn't follow an installation guide, nixos probably has a gui installer and gui's are pretty much self explanatory
    me: *checks video length*
    me: OH MY GOD.
    me: so this is like arch huh, it doesnt have an installer and you have to enter commands one-by-one
    also me: fuck.
