Hi, I’m Matt and I’m one of those masochists who uses a chromebook as their personal development machine (not work though, I’m not that crazy). A cool thing about Chrome OS’s Linux support is that you can swap the default, boring Debian container for any LXC image. Here’s an archwiki page on how to swap it to Arch!
A not-so-cool thing about that LXC setup is that there isn’t a NixOS LXC image available 😢. Instead, I set up an Arch Linux container with Nix and Home Manager. Best of both worlds I guess? Here’s how to do it.
