This is my (currently experimental) user setup with Nix and Home Manager

Have curl installed and systemd enabled

sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl

echo "[boot]\nsystemd=true" > sudo /etc/wsl.conf

echo "\n[interop]\nappendWindowsPath=False" >> sudo /etc/wsl.conf

This avoids a path polleted with binaries installed on Windows. Any needed bin dir is added back in home.nix

wsl.exe --shutdown

1. Install Nix via the Determinate Installer (Alternativly use the offical installer but then you have to enable flakes and nix-commands afterwards)

Note: We currently don't want to go above v2.18.1 because of #4692

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix/tag/v0.15.1 | sh -s -- install

Restart shell

2. Delete (and backup if needed) the following files

rm ~/.profile ~/.bashrc

3. Run Home Manager with Flakes (See manual)

nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake "github:Jak-Ch-ll/.dotfiles/nix?dir=.nix"

4. Clone this repo

git clone --branch nix https://github.com/Jak-Ch-ll/.dotfiles.git

5. Restart shell

• tmux will automatically start, press C-b to install the plugins

To apply configuration changes just run hms from anywhere
