This is the easiest pick for new users to get their footing on NixOS.
NetworKManager allows managing a wide variety of different network
interface types interactively and with ease. It replaces `useDHCP` since
its default profiles for Ethernet and WLAN come with DHCP enabled by
default.
Takes the extended features of nix substituteAll to a replaceVars
variant to get rid of those cases that use substituteAll to build a full
package with meta information etc.
E.g. when overriding `nix` with `pkgs.lix`, `nixos-option` will fail.
Given that I haven't used it in a very long time, I wanted to disable
it, but finding an option to turn off `nixos-option` is kinda hard given
that the options are generated here using `mkToolModule`.
I assumed that this isn't possible until I learned that
`system.tools.X.enable` exists. To me, this is a clear sign that these
shouldn't be internal.
Make sure that when re-assigning an overridden derivation to system.build.*,
the overridden derivation is also the one that ends up in
environment.systemPackages.
The Firefox module installs and enables the selected locale whereas the
Firefox package just uses the default locale. Hence, Firefox's language
was still English even when choosing a language other than English.
these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
[Motivation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/257817#issuecomment-1741705042):
- Having all the XKB options in the same attribute set clarifies their
relation better than using a common option name prefix ("xkb").
- `services.xserver.layout` is an XKB option, but this is not obvious
from its name. Putting it with the other XKB options clarifies this.

Since each such `nixos-*` tool has it's own derivation, exposed in pkgs,
There is no point in separating the manuals from the packages. If
someone wishes to have the tools without the manuals, they can use
meta.outputsToInstall to disable the installation of the manpages of
these packages. This Fixes#244450.
Although 'lib' isn't needed by the default configuration, new NixOS uses
can get confused when being recommended configuration.nix snippets like
systemd.services.NetworkManager-wait-online.enable = lib.mkForce false;
and have `sudo nixos-rebuild switch` fail with
error: undefined variable 'lib'
adding two graphical programs makes a strong assmuption that users will
use a graphical environment.
add a command line program as an alternative suggestion that is easy to
comment in as a first-steps measure.
According to the Unicode Standard, you should use U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE
QUOTATION MARK for apostrophes [1]. Before this change, some of the text
in this repo would use U+2018 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARKs instead.
