MarsOS is a simple way to replicate my setup on any NixOS system via a Flake.

• A bootable NixOS ISO (Minimal installation recommended)
• Internet connection

1. Clone the repository:

   nix run nixpkgs#git -- clone https://github.com/RickMars-Tech/MarsOS.git

2. Navigate to the directory and apply Disko formatting:

   cd MarsOS/
   sudo nix --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" run github:nix-community/disko/latest -- --mode destroy,format,mount hosts/<host>/disko.nix

Note: Replace <host> with your actual hostname (e.g., boltz, rift, or crest)

3. Copy the Flake to /mnt/etc/nixos/ and build the system:

   sudo mkdir -p /mnt/etc/nixos
   sudo cp -r ~/MarsOS /mnt/etc/nixos/
   sudo nixos-install --flake /mnt/etc/nixos/MarsOS#<host>

Note: Replace <host> with your chosen hostname

4. Reboot and enjoy!

1. Personal Configuration: This Flake is specifically tailored for my systems (boltz, rift, and crest). You're welcome to use it as a base, modify the configuration files, or copy individual components that suit your needs.

2. Boot Loader: This configuration uses systemd-boot and Lanzaboote as the default boot loader. GRUB support is not included, so you'll need to configure it manually if you prefer GRUB.

3. Installation Environment: For best results, install from a minimal NixOS environment without a pre-installed desktop environment.

Special thanks to these excellent configurations that inspired and taught me so much:

• Gvolpe - Zaphkiel configuration
• Tyler Kelley - ZaneyOS
• Liassica - NixOS config
