## Installation

(Optional) Enable cachix substitutions in `nix.settings`.

https://app.cachix.org/cache/kernel-overlay

NOTE: This change will only have effect after a `nix-daemon' restart.

```

  nix.settings = {

    experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];

    substituters = [ "https://kernel-overlay.cachix.org" ];

    trusted-public-keys = [

      "kernel-overlay.cachix.org-1:rUvSa2sHn0a7RmwJDqZvijlzZHKeGvmTQfOUr2kaxr4="

    ];

  };

```

Add as an input to a flake

```

{

  description = "OS configuration";

  inputs = {

    ...

    kernel-overlay.url = "github:andreoss/kernel-overlay";

    ...

 ```

 Enable overlay

 ```

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

    let

      systems = lib.systems.flakeExposed;

      lib = nixpkgs.lib;

      eachSystem = lib.genAttrs systems;

    in rec {

      legacyPackages = eachSystem (system:

        import nixpkgs {

          inherit system;

          overlays = [

            inputs.kernel-overlay.overlays.default

          ];

        });

      ...

```

By default, this overlay replaces the default kernel package. To use a specific one, specify it

in`configuration.nix`. For example

```

  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_4_14;

```
