I have finally written the start of my Wiki for ZaneyOS. In this video I explain what I have changed about my documentation. I also want to take this opportunity to let people know about my Discord. Where anyone can find help about general Linux questions, but we definitely are focused on NixOS support. 🌟 Thank you for watching!

About This Video

I’ve been hard at work on my NixOS config for a while now, and this video is basically me finally doing the thing I should’ve done earlier: writing documentation. ZaneyOS is my actual daily configuration, but I’m building it in a way that’s extensible and dynamic so other people can replicate it without missing the “small bits and bobs” like scripts and workflow stuff. I cleaned up the README, made the install instructions nicer, and I stopped assuming people “probably know” commands—so I added the default rebuild command and clearer steps like changing your hostname and rebooting to avoid weird hostname errors. The big change is the start of a real Wiki for the flake. I explain why you’d choose my config, what a flake is, why NixOS is worth using, and how my folder structure/import hierarchy works. I also document theming (and yes, rebuilds take time—be patient and give it a literal minute before you assume it failed). I added a “commands/maintenance” page and started listing common problems, like the EFI filesystem error if you installed with MBR instead of GPT/UEFI, and the Hyprland plugin loader spam that usually just means you need a reboot after an update. I also point people to the GitLab issues page for feature requests/bugs, and I mention my Discord where we do general Linux help but definitely focus on NixOS support.
