Making a development shell for an AI/GPU Accelerated python project with nix flakes, poetry/poetry2nix, and pypi
Went through the pain of packaging a python project on Nixos. Here’s some issues I hit, and how I got lucky resolving them. I feel the most reliable way of doing this in the future is to use docker and just imperatively build....

Replacing docker/podman with Nixos?
I setup a next.js project with pkgs.mkshell, and used nix develop to automatically build the project. However, when I leave the shell, the files persist. How should/can(?) I setup my shell.nix so that files in the directory it drops down into are automatically removed when leaving the ephemeral shell?
How to get KDE Plasma 6?
Hey guys, I’m pretty new to Nix and NixOS and one of the reasons I installed it is because I know there’s some way to install the KDE 6 Beta before the official stable release. I wanted to use the kde2nix overlay, but appearantely KDE 6 has been merged into the official nixpkgs repository. How do I switch from Plasma 5 to 6?...
Could Nix os be like active directory on Linux?
So I’ve been looking into Nix and it seems like a pretty cool way of managing machines. However, I’m curious about how well it can manage user authentication. Theoretically one should be able to setup the equivalent of roaming profiles with rsync and some sort of authentication server but I haven’t seen a lot of...

Installing NixOS made my Windows Dual Boot fail
I’ve probably parsed dozens of pages now, including the “Dual boot NixOS and Windows” page on nixos.wiki, and not really sure what the best steps are since most seem to leverage the fact that everything is on a single partition. My windows lives on a physically separate drive than NixOS, so osprober does not detect the...

Can you setup garbage collection to delete every other generation or every other N generations after a certain limit has been reached?
I see you can delete everything older than some period of time, but what if I want some older than a year? Or should it be interpreted that: whatever build configuration was used, it is tested thoroughly at that point, and it would be better to rebuild from a nix configuration stored on git?
