Description

basically I ran the script and it removed all my apps that I have set in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix any way to prevent this from happening again or a manual way ? thanks in advance

How to reproduce

have this as your config in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

Edit this configuration file to define what should be installed on

your system. Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page

and in the NixOS manual (accessible by running ‘nixos-help’).

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{
imports =
[ # Include the results of the hardware scan.
./hardware-configuration.nix
];

Bootloader.

boot.loader = {
efi = {
canTouchEfiVariables = true;
efiSysMountPoint = "/boot/efi"; # ← use the same mount point here.
};
grub = {
efiSupport = true;
#efiInstallAsRemovable = true; # in case canTouchEfiVariables doesn't work for your system
device = "nodev";
};
};

Enable flakes

nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];

networking.hostName = "hp-victus"; # Define your hostname.

networking.wireless.enable = true; # Enables wireless support via wpa_supplicant.

Configure network proxy if necessary

networking.proxy.default = "http://user:password@proxy:port/";

networking.proxy.noProxy = "127.0.0.1,localhost,internal.domain";

Enable networking

networking.networkmanager.enable = true;

Set your time zone.

time.timeZone = "Africa/Tunis";

Select internationalisation properties.

i18n.defaultLocale = "en_US.UTF-8";

i18n.extraLocaleSettings = {
LC_ADDRESS = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_MEASUREMENT = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_MONETARY = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_NAME = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_NUMERIC = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_PAPER = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_TELEPHONE = "en_US.UTF-8";
LC_TIME = "en_US.UTF-8";
};

Enable the X11 windowing system.

services.xserver.enable = true;

Enable the GNOME Desktop Environment.

services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;

Configure keymap in X11

services.xserver.xkb = {
layout = "us";
variant = "";
};

Enable CUPS to print documents.

services.printing.enable = true;

Enable sound with pipewire.

hardware.pulseaudio.enable = false;
security.rtkit.enable = true;
services.pipewire = {
enable = true;
alsa.enable = true;
alsa.support32Bit = true;
pulse.enable = true;
# If you want to use JACK applications, uncomment this
#jack.enable = true;

# use the example session manager (no others are packaged yet so this is enabled by default,
# no need to redefine it in your config for now)
#media-session.enable = true;

};

Enable touchpad support (enabled default in most desktopManager).

services.xserver.libinput.enable = true;

Define a user account. Don't forget to set a password with ‘passwd’.

users.users.zakariya = {
isNormalUser = true;
description = "zakariya";
extraGroups = [ "networkmanager" "wheel" ];
packages = with pkgs; [
# thunderbird
];
};

Install firefox.

programs.firefox.enable = true;

Allow unfree packages

nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;

List packages installed in system profile. To search, run:

$ nix search wget

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
fastfetch bibata-cursors discord mangohud mangojuice adw-gtk3
gradience python3 python312Packages.pip rubik
];

Enable flatpak

services.flatpak.enable = true;

Install steam

programs.steam = {
enable = true;
remotePlay.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Steam Remote Play
dedicatedServer.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Source Dedicated Server
localNetworkGameTransfers.openFirewall = true; # Open ports in the firewall for Steam Local Network Game Transfers
};

Enable gamemode

programs.gamemode.enable = true;

Enable hyprland

programs.hyprland.enable = true;

Enable waydroid

virtualisation.waydroid.enable = true;

Some programs need SUID wrappers, can be configured further or are

started in user sessions.

programs.mtr.enable = true;

programs.gnupg.agent = {

enable = true;

enableSSHSupport = true;

};

List services that you want to enable:

Enable the OpenSSH daemon.

services.openssh.enable = true;

Open ports in the firewall.

networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ ... ];

networking.firewall.allowedUDPPorts = [ ... ];

Or disable the firewall altogether.

networking.firewall.enable = false;

Enable OpenGL

hardware.graphics = {
enable = true;
};

Load nvidia driver for Xorg and Wayland

services.xserver.videoDrivers = ["nvidia"];

hardware.nvidia = {

# Modesetting is required.
modesetting.enable = true;

# Nvidia power management. Experimental, and can cause sleep/suspend to fail.
# Enable this if you have graphical corruption issues or application crashes after waking
# up from sleep. This fixes it by saving the entire VRAM memory to /tmp/ instead 
# of just the bare essentials.
powerManagement.enable = false;

# Fine-grained power management. Turns off GPU when not in use.
# Experimental and only works on modern Nvidia GPUs (Turing or newer).
powerManagement.finegrained = false;

# Use the NVidia open source kernel module (not to be confused with the
# independent third-party "nouveau" open source driver).
# Support is limited to the Turing and later architectures. Full list of 
# supported GPUs is at: 
# https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules#compatible-gpus 
# Only available from driver 515.43.04+
open = true;

# Enable the Nvidia settings menu,
# accessible via `nvidia-settings`.
nvidiaSettings = true;

# Optionally, you may need to select the appropriate driver version for your specific GPU.
package = config.boot.kernelPackages.nvidiaPackages.beta;

};
hardware.nvidia.prime = {
offload = {
enable = true;
enableOffloadCmd = true;
};
# Make sure to use the correct Bus ID values for your system!
amdgpuBusId = "PCI:06:00:0";
nvidiaBusId = "PCI:01:00:0";

};

This value determines the NixOS release from which the default

settings for stateful data, like file locations and database versions

on your system were taken. It‘s perfectly fine and recommended to leave

this value at the release version of the first install of this system.

Before changing this value read the documentation for this option

(e.g. man configuration.nix or on https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html).

system.stateVersion = "24.11"; # Did you read the comment?

}

install logs, images or videos

gnome desktop nuked xD

note that I'm a newbie for nixos I recently switched from arch :)
