Here is my main config

Edit this configuration file to define what should be installed on

your system. Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page

and in the NixOS manual (accessible by running ‘nixos-help’).

{ config, pkgs, … }:

{
imports =
[ # Include the results of the hardware scan.
./hardware-configuration.nix

Bootloader.

services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;

# If you want to use JACK applications, uncomment this
#jack.enable = true;

# use the example session manager (no others are packaged yet so this is enabled by default,
# no need to redefine it in your config for now)
#media-session.enable = true;

};

Enable touchpad support (enabled default in most desktopManager).

services.xserver.libinput.enable = true;

Define a user account. Don’t forget to set a password with ‘passwd’.

users.users.w = {
isNormalUser = true;
description = “w”;
extraGroups = [ “networkmanager” “wheel” ];
packages = with pkgs; [
firefox
kate
discover
vlc
obs-studio

audacity
qbittorrent

];
};

Flatpak

services.flatpak.enable = true;

xdg.portal.enable = true;
xdg.portal.extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-kde ];

Allow unfree packages

nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;

List packages installed in system profile. To search, run:

$ nix search wget

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
vim # Do not forget to add an editor to edit configuration.nix! The Nano editor is also installed by default.
wget
git
neofetch
libsForQt5.qtstyleplugin-kvantum

hunspell
hunspellDicts.uk_UA
hunspellDicts.th_TH
vscode
gcc
cmake
];

fonts.fonts = with pkgs; [

Some programs need SUID wrappers, can be configured further or are

started in user sessions.

programs.mtr.enable = true;

programs.gnupg.agent = {

enable = true;

enableSSHSupport = true;

};

List services that you want to enable:

virtualisation.vmware.host.enable = true;

Enable the OpenSSH daemon.

services.openssh.enable = true;

Open ports in the firewall.

networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ … ];

networking.firewall.allowedUDPPorts = [ … ];

Or disable the firewall altogether.

networking.firewall.enable = false;

This value determines the NixOS release from which the default

settings for stateful data, like file locations and database versions

on your system were taken. It‘s perfectly fine and recommended to leave

this value at the release version of the first install of this system.

Before changing this value read the documentation for this option

(e.g. man configuration.nix or on NixOS Search).

system.stateVersion = “unstable”; # Did you read the comment?

}

Hardware config

Do not modify this file! It was generated by ‘nixos-generate-config’

and may be overwritten by future invocations. Please make changes

to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix instead.

{ config, lib, pkgs, modulesPath, … }:

{
imports =
[ (modulesPath + “/installer/scan/not-detected.nix”)
];

boot.initrd.availableKernelModules = [ “xhci_pci” “ahci” “nvme” “usb_storage” “sd_mod” ];
boot.initrd.kernelModules = ;
boot.kernelModules = [ “kvm-intel” ];
boot.extraModulePackages = ;

fileSystems.“/” =
{ device = “/dev/disk/by-uuid/6dd9d28e-1736-4bdc-bbaa-6e1005976f82”;
fsType = “btrfs”;
options = [ “subvol=@” ];
};

fileSystems.“/boot” =
{ device = “/dev/disk/by-uuid/4994-3124”;
fsType = “vfat”;
};

swapDevices =
[ { device = “/dev/disk/by-uuid/fb20ab48-9181-462d-8314-dcb68dd51105”; }
];

Enables DHCP on each ethernet and wireless interface. In case of scripted networking

(the default) this is the recommended approach. When using systemd-networkd it’s

still possible to use this option, but it’s recommended to use it in conjunction

with explicit per-interface declarations with networking.interfaces.<interface>.useDHCP.

networking.useDHCP = lib.mkDefault true;

networking.interfaces.enp2s0.useDHCP = lib.mkDefault true;

networking.interfaces.wlp0s20f3.useDHCP = lib.mkDefault true;

nixpkgs.hostPlatform = lib.mkDefault “x86_64-linux”;
powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor = lib.mkDefault “powersave”;
hardware.cpu.intel.updateMicrocode = lib.mkDefault config.hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware;
}
