I’m on a fresh installation with KDE. Kate is available, but what’s the best way to get (n)vim up and running, or better yet, Helix? (I’m new to Nix. I do have a good amount of Linux experience though.)

    You need to add the package for your preferred editor to your configuration.nix and rebuild your system

      Got it, so in babysteps it was:

      1. As root, open /etc/nixox/configuration.nix using kate or nano.
      2. Uncomment or add the line vim or helix within the block environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [... ...];.
      3. In a Terminal, run nixos-rebuild switch.

      Alright, first steps taken. Thanks! :)
