## Using wifi
Although `dhcp` will already work out of the box, wifi will not. Luckily there exists `wpa_supplicant`. First install the necessary packages:
```
# apk add networkmanager-wifi wpa_supplicant
```
Then configure `/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf` to use `wpa_supplicant`:

# Nix (WIP - don't follow)
The *Nix package manager* is a package manager which allows for user independent packages and a whole lot more (although it's not necessarily minimal). To set it up install it's package and activate it's service:
## Setup
```
# apk add nix
# rc-update add nix-daemon default
# rc-service nix-daemon start
```
> (The `nix` package is only available in the `edge` and `apk-ample` repositories)
And add this line to `/etc/nix/nix.conf` to globally enable some features which will be necessary later:
```
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
```
Don't forget to add your user to the nix group:
```
# adduser <username> nix
```
## Usage
Nix can be used to manage your `$HOME` with `home-manager` and `flakes`. ([Here a link explaining it all](https://juliu.is/tidying-your-home-with-nix/))
Now that Nix is up and running utilize the `flake` that comes with the [config files](https://docs.bijl.us/alpine-desktop-setup/post-install/config-files/) to set up our home for us. But before initialising `nix` make sure that you set the correct `<username>` in both `flake.nix` and `home.nix` which are located in `~/.config/home-manager`. Then after changing those simply run this command from that same directory:
```
$ nix run . switch
```
This should have installed `nixpkgs-unstable` and `home-manager`. Verify this with:
```
$ home-manager --version
```
And thanks to `home-manager` we can easily set up and manage an entire graphical enviroment with all the necessary packages in one go.
You are now also able to install packages as a user without root from `nixpkgs`:
```
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.<package>
```
You can also test a package before installing it with `nix-shell -p <program>`
To update your system, in `~/.config/home-manager` run:
```
$ nix flake update
```
