I’ve been trying to install nixos for a few days and I keep getting stuck on 95. I’ve seen people say to wait it out but I’ve been waiting for 1 hour and 30 minutes and I won’t go more. It just won’t install. The only thing that works is installing a minimal nixos, and I don’t want that. I want a plasma desktop environment. A bit of more info is that I’m using the graphical install. But that’s all I can say since I don’t think any more info is going to help.
Just do a manual installation (with partitioning done in gparted) and add plasma to the generated config.

I haven’t had time to see what can be done about these things yet, but I believe this was caused by two nixos bugs. 1) The installer reports that it gets to 95% right away, when in reality it still has to do the main part of the installation. 2) The openblas package had some issue resulting in it not being cached, which is a problem since the default GNOME installation needs it or something, meaning you have to build it locally during installation.

Ok. Thanks for the information.
