Duplicating install to another disk, what about settings?

Hi All,

I’ve been testing NIXOS the last few weeks and it’s very cool so far.
I’m testing the reproducibility aspect by reinstalling it on a larger, faster SSD drive.
Copying the configuration file gave me all the programs etc.
However, are the customizations that you typically do to an OS stored somewhere, that could be copied as well to the new install?
For instance, Themes, Firefox settings, console settings, fonts etc.

Or do all those tweaks need to be repeated on a new install?

Thanks,
Dave

Unless those tweaks can (feasibly) be expressed programmatically, you’d have to redo them.
Browser extension settings are probably a no-go.
Fonts are part of your NixOS config, or should be.
No idea what “console settings” are.

Thanks for the info! :slight_smile:
By console, I meant the KDE Konsole, I update the font size etc on that.
Not a big deal, just having the basic settings and all of my software set up with the config file saves a ton of time.
Thanks,
Dave
