I'm trying to follow this guide to install NixOS using Btrfs, LUKS and LVM. The main usage of this page for me will be remembering what I did! My laptop is ASUS ROG GL553VD.

Just downloaded Plasma Desktop, 64bit and create a bootable Flash Drive. Then boot up to NixOS Live CD. Using gparted to create two partitions, One 200MB vfat EFI partittion and the rest of SSD drive will be an encrypted partition.

DISK=/dev/nvme0n1

NixOS Ubuntu Dual Boot

Why?

After using NixOS for a year, I've found it to be a great operating system. When the software I need is on nixpkgs, things work out great. When I need to install software from outside of nixpkgs, though, it can become a pain. Trying to figure out the quirks of some closed source application can become pretty complicated. It would be great to package it and contribute it back to nixpkgs, but a lot of the time I just want to have the application working as soon as possible.

Since Ubuntu is a more standard linux distribution, I hope that it's better supported by some of these closed source applications. By dual booting, it's possible to get the best of both worlds.

	# * A Wemos D1 mini lite (an ESP8266 based board)
	# * A Wemos power shield so I can power the Wemos from the ventilation units 12V supply.
	# * A simple PWM to 10V convertor like this: https://www.cheaptech.nl/pwm-signaal-te-voltage-converter-1-3-khz-0-10-v-pw.html

	# I used to use a Raspberry Pi and some Python code for this. See https://gist.github.com/SqyD/a927ab612df767a0cc892bcde23d025c
