Tried NixOS !

So I tried nixos and I love how things work, I am glad that it exists. Will learn about Flakes today. Any recommended resource to learn it? :)

Yeah, true, valid point. Guess I never thoughg about rebuilding from anywhere not /etc/nixos

FYI you can do:

nixos-rebuild switch --flake git+https://yourgithost.com/yourrepo

Also, depending on how the flake is setup, you might also have to add .#, at least for the initial run. After that .# can evaluate which host is being rebuilt.
