problem & solution

unable to drop root

donot run under root

in normal user, libseat permission deniened

add user in video group login as user, not root

egl error

enable 3D acceleration in VirtualBox

config files from outside

but it is copied using xoriso to /iso/ so I need to write a systemd service to automagically sync it at boot

cleanup builds

/nix/store/ takes too much space after build

unlink result
nix-store <path>

and there're a few tools for visualising disk size: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Cleaning_the_nix_store

reference

nixos without systemd?

an example config

Xe: Super Bootable 64
