I have installed a few Linux distro in the past, and I really wanted to give #Nixos a try.

However, it would not install. Regardless of which option I choose in the partition step, it either fails, or the installer has the "next" button grayed out.

Also, in the previous step, Unfree Software, documentation and tutorials show an additional dialog box; however, during my setup, that dialog is missing, and I just get a message that it failed.

I tried on two machines already, and it fails on both. Very disappointing experience.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear! IIRC, I followed [these instructions](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_Installation_Guide) to the letter, and got it installed. The installer doesn't do any partitioning, had to do all that manually from a command-line, so it's a bit more involved than most other distros (though I've only had experience with Raspbian OS, Ubuntu, and NixOS).

Thanks. I will give it another try with the instructions you shared.
