I've been using NixOS for a year now, and I did use LLMs to set up a large part of my configuration: It's absolute amazing being able to share 1 configuration between multiple machines.
I also added a
Justfileto hold a bunch of common commands, so I can never forget them :DJust start out by throwing your
hardware-configuration.nixandconfiguration.nix(from/etc/nix/configuration, IIRC) into a repo, andsudo nixos-rebuild switchas starting command (in that repo).Also yes, each host will need its own hardware-configuration, but they can share a configuration.nix (to some extent), but just start by adding a list of programs from https://search.nixos.org/packages, oh and @vimjoyer IS the documentation.
