Here is the log: View paste IWVQ

nixos-version: 25.11.20250610.c9cb777 (Xantusia)

Configuration: GitHub - rachitve6h2g/NixDots: NixOS dotfiles and Home-Manager

The whole system is not building, IDK why.

in your flake you have

nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs";

is using the default branch which is the master branch of nixpkgs. you should use one of nixos-unstable, nixpkgs-unstable, nixos-25.05 instead like

nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

note, the above won’t necessarily solve your issue

Oh, I didn’t know that. Do I have to do something similar for home-manager as well?

home-manager docs suggest what you are currently doing in your flake, so no need to change it.

But if you want to use nixos stable (currently nixos-25.05) then I suggest doing this

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-25.05";
    home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/release-25.05";
    home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };
