nixOS VM (devnix)

Initial steps

After starting the nixOS installer through an ISO found here. Choose the version with the graphical installer.

Note: This keymap is not the macOS flavour of the Swiss layout, but rather the classic Swiss layout, cf. here. the # can be accessed with altGR + shift + 3. Square brackets with altGR + ü/¨ and curlies with altGR + ä / $

Then cd /etc/nixos/configuration.nix. Add this to the file:

nix = {
 package = pkgs.nix;
 settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
};

(for vim as the editor just launch nix-shell -p vim)

And then rebuild your nix with sudo nixos-rebuild switch
