💡 Installation Suggestions

  • Host Selection:
    • minimal: Highly recommended for initial installation. It contains only the base system, making the process fast and stable. If you are installing NixOS (not WSL), please choose this first.
    • yu: Based on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
    • k-on: A regular NixOS full configuration (includes desktop environment, etc.).
  • Hardware Requirements:
    • Recommended RAM: > 8GB.
    • Reason: In the NixOS Live environment, operations occur in RAM and Nix downloads many dependencies. Insufficient memory often leads to "No space left on device" errors.
    • Suggestion: If your RAM is limited, install the minimal configuration first. Once the system is successfully installed and booted, you can then switch to your final configuration (e.g., k-on) by running just rebuild-switch.
