After about a month of work and testing since my talk at #SCALE22x I'm happy to announce some new updates to project #nixbook !

Big code cleanup, organization, much better systemd job stability for missed jobs, less resources usage on automatic updates, and simple notifications to the user when OS updates have started (and when they end)

If your not familiar, Nixbook is aimed to be the perfect windows / Chromebook replacement for basic users, built on #NixOS

@codemonkeymike Ooo, that _is_ pretty slick!

Does it work with includes and home manager?

I don't have many config files, but I do have multiple machines. Copying changed files around is annoying, but not enough to write a script to do it. The various remote management suites, or even just an Ansible playbook seem like overkill to me.

One of the #SCALE22x #NixOS presentations was using conditionals to select configs based on host. I wonder if includes could come from Git too?

Thank you so much to the volunteers who made #SCaLE22x @socallinuxexpo possible, to the wonderful speakers, and of course to the fantastic audience who kept us on our toes with their questions. As my little token of gratitude ♥️ I am giving away 5 eBooks of "PostgreSQL Mistakes and How to Avoid Them"! Please reply to this post, and I will use a random picker.
