Install NixOS normally, then clone this dots
git clone https://github.com/shaaanuu/nixdots ~/nixdotssudo ln -s /home/{USER}/nixdots /etc/nixoschange {USER} with your username.
Replace hardware-configuration.nix with the one generated during your install (at /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix before you symlink).
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#nixosThe
updatealias in zsh does this exact command, so after the first build just runupdate.
Zen Browser (beta) with:
- Forced extensions: uBlock Origin + Nook startpage (built by me).
- Betterfox (Fastfox + Securefox + Peskyfox)
- DNS-over-HTTPS via Quad9
- DDG as default search +
@nix,@waliases - Telemetry, pocket, studies all disabled
ProtonVPN WireGuard interface. Needs private key at:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/wireguard
snvim /etc/wireguard/proton.key # paste the keyCustom screenshot tool made by me. Bindings are Print, Super+Print, Super+Shift+Print.
Run this once after initial setup, and again any time you modify android package versions in flutter.nix.
flutter config --android-sdk "$ANDROID_HOME"| Alias | Command |
|---|---|
update |
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#nixos |
upgrade |
sudo nix flake update --flake /etc/nixos |
clean |
sudo nix-collect-garbage -d |
vpn |
Start WireGuard ProtonVPN |
vpn-off |
Stop WireGuard ProtonVPN |
ai |
Start ollama |
ai-off |
Stop ollama |
snvim |
sudo -E nvim (preserves env, so the theme works) |
shutdown |
sudo shutdown now |
restart / reboot |
sudo reboot now |
Some would say it's not a good way to include sudo in it, but i don't care. I like this.
All configs under config/ are symlinked via home.nix using mkOutOfStoreSymlink so edits are live without rebuilding.
Currently rewriting most of this as possible in nix way into modules/.

- Grub device is hardcoded to
/dev/sdainconfiguration.nix. Change if needed. - Username is hardcoded to
shaaanuuthroughout. Global find-replace if forking. (lazy, that's why). - Intel GPU specific vars set:
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965,intel-vaapi-driver,libvdpau-va-gl. - auto-cpufreq: powersave + no turbo on battery, performance + auto turbo on charger.
- nix substituters include SJTU/USTC mirrors (currently for me, this is the fastest and less error showing ones).
- Bun paths set in zsh init (no installation process included).
- iOS support via
usbmuxd+ifuse+libimobiledevice.
THIS CONFIG IS HEAVILY UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND NOT A PERFECT ONE. DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU GOT ANY ISSUES WITH THIS. IF YOU FOUND ANY ISSUES, PLEASE CONSIDER REPORTING IT.
