From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

IDK why the Atuin config file that got generated is commented out in it's entirety and nothing works. Right now I can't be bothered to go trough the entire config and enable things one by one. From what I've tried nothing works and IDK why. CTRL+R does not invoke the Atuin search it still invokes the old one. I uncommented everything and still nothing seems to work. The atuin definitely responds to my commands in terminal though. I did run atuin setup as well.

edit: OK, I've spent another 30min+ on this and I still can't understand why it does not work. I've adjusted config, even got a custom config from other users and I can't seem to be able to invoke it in the terminal besides using it's commands which are the only thing that seem to work. I was able to make an account and login via terminal as well.

edit2: Figured it out! I've tried mcfly and encountered the same issue. Turns out I needed to edit .bashrc which is read only even for sudo and even after chmod. So after beating my head against a wall I’ve realized that .bashrc is symlinked to my home.nix and that's where I need to place my edits. So now mcfly runs fine and I'm assuming Atuin would as well since after looking at github I pretty much had to do the same edit for both.

You don't need to add mcfly bash integration to your .bashrc manually. Remove it from home.packages and instead enable the home-manager module with programs.mcfly.enable = true;. That's all you need to do, it has a enableBashIntegration setting that's true by default. Same for atuin, programs.atuin.enable = true; is enough.

It's an habit you have to learn when switching to nix, check first if there is a module for the program you want to install before resorting to home.packages or environment.systemPackages.

I thought that I've already replied but apparently not... Thanks for this. I did not realize it's this simple. Looks like I've found one of the many instances where I can make this work differently while it may not be optimal to do so :)
