Minimal NixOS flake for Surface Book 2 (NVIDIA 1050) with:

• Niri
• Noctalia
• Zen Browser + qutebrowser
• kitty + fish + starship
• neovim (dotfile-managed)

• hosts/SurfaceBook2: host-specific files
• modules/common: reusable minimal modules
• home/ocean: home-manager
• home/ocean/.config: dotfiles (niri, noctalia, nvim)

• Browser configs (zen, qutebrowser) are not declaratively overridden.
• niri / noctalia / nvim templates are seeded to ~/.config and stay user-editable.
• xdg-user-dirs is pinned to English names (Downloads, Pictures, etc.) even with Chinese locale.

1. Initial user/password is ocean / 1234. Change it after first login.
2. Login manager is greetd (tuigreet) and is declared in modules/common/niri-core.nix.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ocean-sudo/nixos-surfacebook2/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | sudo bash

This bootstrap script:

• Downloads repo as tarball (no git dependency under sudo/root).
• Regenerates hosts/SurfaceBook2/hardware-configuration.nix.
• Applies config with --flake path:/etc/nixos/nixos-surfacebook2#SurfaceBook2.

That path: flake source avoids the classic issue where git-based flakes ignore untracked generated files.

sudo nixos-generate-config --show-hardware-config > hosts/SurfaceBook2/hardware-configuration.nix
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake "path:$(pwd)#SurfaceBook2"
