- `outputs`: the Home Manager and NixOS flake outputs.
- `system`: the NixOS configuration, settings for different laptops and window managers.
## Flake outputs
You can have a look at the available flake outputs before getting started.

As well as all the declared flake inputs.
```console
nix flake metadata github:gvolpe/nix-config
```
### Install
The `edp-tongfang-amd` configuration also contains my Home Manager configuration using the NixOS module, so it can easily be tested with a single command.
```console
nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:gvolpe/nix-config#edp-tongfang-amd
```
Or you can test it directly on a QEMU virtual machine, though it has its limitations in terms of graphics.
```console
nixos-rebuild build-vm --flake github:gvolpe/nix-config#edp-tongfang-amd
./result/bin/run-tongfang-amd-vm
```
Having both NixOS and Home Manager configurations combined makes it easier to quickly install it on a new machine, but my preference is to have both separate, as my Home Manager configuration changes more often than that of the NixOS one, resulting in multiple generations at boot time.
Managing the different Home Manager generations in isolation makes this way easier for me.
### NixOS
The NixOS configuration can be installed by running the following command.
```console
nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:gvolpe/nix-config#tongfang-amd
```
Beware that the `hardware-configuration.nix` file is the result of the hardware scan of the specific machine and might not be suitable for yours.
### Home Manager
A fresh install requires the creation of certain directories (see what the `switch` script does). However, if you omit those steps, the entire HM configuration can also be built as any other flake.
```console
nix build github:gvolpe/nix-config#homeConfigurations.xmonad-edp.activationPackage
result/activate
```
### Fresh install
To set up a new machine from scratch, have a look at [this document](./notes/new-machine.md).
