Intro

My scripts already run these commands automaticly but if you use a different installer, you can run these scripts separately

Commands

add experimental-features = nix-command flakes to /etc/nix/nix.confor ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

WARNING: THIS OVERWRITES THE CONFIG SO ANYTHING THAT IS ADDED TO IT IS LOST

mkdir -p ~/.config/nix ; echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

It makes /etc/profile.d/nix-app-icons.sh which contains XDG_DATA_DIRS="$HOME/.nix-profile/share:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS"

Multiuser

sudo rm -f /etc/profile.d/nix-app-icons.sh ; sudo wget -P /etc/profile.d https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dnkmmr69420/nix-installer-scripts/main/other-files/nix-app-icons.sh
