    The 4-5h I’ve spent using it so far were pretty easy until I ran out of detailed documentation like you said. The syntax seems pretty easy so far but some things being functions confused me at the start.

    Infodump about my progress that I only now realized is unlikely to be of interest to anyone but me :/

    I started off copying the dot files from other devices but that didn’t really work for browsers so I decided to use home manager. After having trouble finding out how to configure programs without their own wiki pages I watched a video on NixOS which helped me fix a bunch of problems and recommended some things I wouldn’t have found out about other places. Flakes fail when I try to use them (I have enabled them in the configuration and the error didn’t seem to be because of it). And when I enable the kitty shell integration it only sources the bash profile, leaving without the system wide config that I got without. This would not be an issue if I knew how to configure the bash profile which is in a different location on NixOS compared to other distros that I’ve used.
