+## Deploying to NixOS
+> :red_circle: **READ**: **Do not deploy this flake directly to your machine. It won't work.**
+> This is my own NixOS and home-manager flake for my personal devices.
+> This includes laptops running nixos-unstable and a home lab/gaming desktop running [Slateblue](https://github.com/alyraffauf/slateblue),
+> a customized [Fedora Silverblue](https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/silverblue/) image made with [BlueBuild](https://github.com/blue-build/template).
+> Each hardware-configuration is host-specific. If you fork this repository, replace them with the hardware-configuration.nix that NixOS generates for you.
+
+### Enabling Flakes
+Add the following lines to your `configuration.nix` and rebuild.
+```nix
+nix.settings.experimental-features = [ "nix-command" "flakes" ];
+```
+### Building Flake
+Run the following command.
+```bash
+sudo nixos-rebuild boot --flake github:alyraffauf/nixcfg
+```
+Reboot and the flake's configuration will be applied.
