New to nix but I’m moderately experienced linux,
I may be missing something small or silly here, tried updating my kernel to no avail
Trying to install the nvidia drivers based on the wiki page,but a niixos-rebuild fails at the end gives me:
error: builder for '/nix/store/hpw9lmk7d2w3aksjvjk2li0zhzrv7jpv-nvidia-x11-535.86.05-6.5.7.drv' failed with exit code 2
