re: size: yeah, recently @delroth and I did some work on removing x86 taint: which brought the image size down to 1.5GB, we need to do more stripping: and finally the last remnants of x86 (build time contamination) should be eliminated by fixing the first gcc changes are included in the next branch, and I've been starting to track all the x86 contaminants of images in this file: so there's a lot of work to be done in decreasing size, apart from the above one could also try to disable things that NixOS installs by default, disable dependencies of some packages, etc. hope that clears things up! |

code looks good, it's building on my machine so i'll approve when it finishes |

@illegalprime It's good to know, now i may test and see if i can use nixos in production. |
Greetings, this config's is working on my custom board. I was able to successfully build minimal image and boot into a root shell.
One thing I wonder though - minimal image is 2.2gb size, but there is no multimedia, heavy frameworks or x server, similar yocto images is only 100-200 mb size. Also, there are some x86 libraries that taking up some space:
