# Boot into the installer
# Connect to wifi, instructions on the wiki, link in the helpful links section.
# My installer has network manager installed so I use that instead of wpa utility

# Enter root shell
sudo -i

# Create you partitions, I personally use cfdisk, but you can use any tool e.g parted
cfdisk

# Format your partitions
mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/root-partition # your partition name here

# It isn't necessary to separate home and root but I do it anyway
mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/home-partition

# This may not be useful if like me, you only use zram, without swap devices
# I usually use swap partitions instead of swap files, set up one like this
mkswap -L swap /dev/swap-partition # replace with your partition
swapon /dev/by-label/swap

# Mount your partitions
mount /dev/by-label/root /mnt
mount --mkdir /dev/boot-partition /mnt/boot
mount --mkdir /dev/by-label/home /mnt/home

nixos-generate-config --root /mnt

# Edit the configuration
cd /mnt/etc/nixos
vi configuration.nix

# Check the partitions to make sure their mount points are correct
# Also check for swap if you're using a partition
vi hardware-configuration.nix

# Once you're done, install the system configuration
nixos-install

# Clone the github repo
git clone https://github.com/Daru-san/SnowyDots snow

# You should probably make your own system configurations for compatibility
# Feel free to edit any files in the repo to suit your needs, otherwise

cd snow/systems/laptop

# Copy your partitions to the hardware-configuration.nix file
vi hardware-configuration.nix

# Build the system configuration
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#system # e.g .#Aurorus

# Then build the home configuration

# If you haven't installed it yet
nix shell nixpkgs#home-manager

# Then switch the config
home-manager switch --flake .#daru@Aurorus
