This is a quick and painless tutorial on how to install and configure NixOS from Scratch. It involves starting off with Home manager and Flakes before even rebuilding your system.

• Video format of written guide:
  • https://youtube.com/watch?v=2QjzI5dXwDY
• Source code for example NixOS config
  • https://github.com/tonybanters/nixos-from-scratch

I thought the example using builtins.mapAttrs with create_symlink for xdg.configFile was cleverly simple.
