I did it!!

One flake to build my entire macOS setup AND also that same flake builds Linux hosts. Both share the same home manager configuration meaning that wherever I go I always have the same tools and configs! By far, this is the most complex thing I’ve approached since learning Java from nothing 10 years ago.

I feel like that now this MVP is working the real work of assessing how and where Nixos will fit into my infra can truly begin. Oh and the whole blog / video thing is possible now too. It’ll take time to figure out how to make that content the best and most approachable there is on the topic, but that’s my goal!

@ironicbadger has NixOS an ARM Version? Have a Pinebook Pro that I need to upgrade anyway. Congratulations on achieving that goal. Listened to the podcasts you talked about flakes and man that sounded crazy. 🤣 And thanks for sharing your work and progress.
