## 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;
```
