Garuda Nix
General information
Garuda Nix is a Nix flake, which allows easy dual boot with Garuda Linux. But it also provides a framework for pure NixOS, which provides opinionated defaults and a system which can be fully set up by toggling a few module options or installed using our installer ISO.
Prefer a graphical install? The flake also builds an installer ISO with a Calamares GUI for beginners and an install-garuda-nix CLI with presets, automatic partition layouts, and impermanence support.

Devshell and how to enter it
This NixOS flake provides a devshell which contains all deployment tools as well as handy aliases for common tasks. The only requirement for using it is having the Nix package manager available. It can be installed on various distributions via the package manager or the following script (click me for more information):
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix -o nix-install.sh
# Check script content before running
sh ./nix-install.sh install --diagnostic-endpoint=""
This installs the Nix packages with flakes already pre-enabled. After that, the shell can be invoked as follows:
nix develop # The intended way to use the devshell
nix-shell # Legacy, non-flakes way if flakes are not available for some reason
This also sets up pre-commit-hooks and shows the currently implemented tasks, which can be executed by running the command shown in the welcome message.
