from my experience the process is more involved, but it ultimately boils down to those three commands above (the first command is only for bootstrapping). youll need to make a configuration for your host which involves creating default configurations with `nixos-generate-config` , copying it to your host's folder in `nixos/hosts/[host]/` , editing it, and then adding it to `flake.nix` . after that you should clone the repo inside of `/home/rae/` on your filesystem

the system should boot into openbox and from there you'll have your statusbar and a lot of keybinds to learn x3

# (history)
here is the very first finalized version of this config that was originally tested on a qemu vm. it took 14 hours to set up. after running it on the machine itself and switching over to the configuration in its entirety i realized that it was complete and utter HORSESHIT. making things look nice again took another like four hours.
