# NixOS
* There is controversy about flakes, rather use channels (e.g. with niv)
## Build and Switch
Directly change to new config, make it default:
```shell
sudo nixos-rebuild -I nixos-config=yodaTux/configuration.nix switch
```
## Install Home Manager with niv
* https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/tree/release-23.05#releases
> To avoid breaking users' configurations, Home Manager is released in branches corresponding to NixOS releases (e.g. `release-23.05`).
> Home Manager provides both the channel-based setup and the flake-based one.
Check your channel:
```shell
sudo nix-channel --list
#=> nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.05
```
Use the corresponding branch:
```shell
niv add nix-community/home-manager -n home-manager -b release-23.05
```
