====== My Nix Configuration ======

In order to edit the configuration without root permissions, it is convenient to symlink ''configuration.nix'' to my user's home directory, like this:
<code>
mkdir ~/etc
sudo mv /etc/nixos/ ~/etc/
sudo chown -R $(id -un):users ~/etc/nixos/
sudo ln -s ~/etc/nixos/ /etc/
</code>
