+## Configuration Files
+
+```
+.
+├── configuration.nix          # System-level configuration
+├── home.nix                   # User-level configuration (Home Manager)
+├── hardware-configuration.nix # Auto-generated hardware config
+└── flake.nix                  # Flake inputs and outputs
+```
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### First Time Setup
+
+1. Clone this repository:
+```bash
+git clone <your-repo-url> ~/Documents/nixos-configuration
+cd ~/Documents/nixos-configuration
+```
+
+2. Review and customize configurations:
+   - Edit `configuration.nix` for system-wide changes
+   - Edit `home.nix` for user-specific settings
+
+3. Apply the configuration:
+```bash
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos
+```
+
+### Making Changes
+
+#### System-Level Changes
+Edit `configuration.nix` and rebuild:
+```bash
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos
+```
+
+#### User-Level Changes
+Edit `home.nix` and rebuild:
+```bash
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos
+# or use home-manager directly:
+home-manager switch
+```
+
+### Adding Packages
+
+**System-wide** (available to all users):
+Add to `environment.systemPackages` in `configuration.nix`:
+```nix
+environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
+  # your-package-here
+];
+```
+
+**User-specific**:
+Add to `home.packages` in `home.nix`:
+```nix
+home.packages = with pkgs; [
+  # your-package-here
+];
+```
+
+### Updating the System
+
+Update flake inputs and rebuild:
+```bash
+nix flake update
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos
+```
+
+## Key Configurations
+
+### Git Configuration
+Managed declaratively in `home.nix`:
+- **User**: 0xWheatyz
+- **Email**: wyatt@leeworks.dev
+- **Default Branch**: master
+- **Auto push remote setup**: Enabled
+- **Custom alias**: `git lg` for pretty log visualization
+
+### SSH Configuration
+Custom SSH hosts configured in `home.nix`:
+- **vps**: Direct connection to 45.79.198.105
+- **home**: Via jump host proxy
+- **git**: Local git server at 10.0.1.10
+- Connection multiplexing enabled for faster subsequent connections
+
+### Tmux
+- Mouse support enabled
+- Window numbering starts at 1
+- 256-color terminal support
+- Auto-starts on terminal launch
+
+### Zsh
+- Oh-My-Zsh with agnoster theme
+- Custom `nix develop` wrapper that launches in zsh
+- Tmux auto-start on interactive terminals
+- Project shell indicator in prompt
+
+## Neovim Configuration
+
+Using [kickstart.nvim](https://github.com/0xWheatyz/kickstart.nvim) as the base configuration, managed through Flakes.
+
+Required dependencies are automatically installed:
+- Neovim
+- ripgrep
+- fd
+- gcc
+- gnumake
+- git
+
+Configuration is synchronized from the GitHub repository and placed in `~/.config/nvim`.
+
+## Docker Configuration
+
+Docker is configured in rootless mode:
+- Unprivileged user namespaces enabled
+- Socket variable automatically set
+- User `l-wyatt` is in the `docker` group
+
+Usage:
+```bash
+docker ps  # No sudo required
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Slow Shutdown
+The configuration includes optimizations for shutdown handling:
+- User manager timeout reduced to 30s (from default 90s)
+- Prevents hangs when user linger is enabled
+
+### Building from Flake
+If you encounter issues, try:
+```bash
+# Rebuild with verbose output
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#nixos --show-trace
+
+# Check flake validity
+nix flake check
+
+# Update flake lock file
+nix flake update
+```
+
+### YubiKey Issues
+If YubiKey authentication isn't working:
+```bash
+# Check PAM configuration
+cat /etc/pam.d/login
+cat /etc/pam.d/sudo
+
+# Verify udev rules
+udevadm control --reload-rules
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **stateVersion**: Set to 25.11 - do not change after initial installation
+- **Home Manager stateVersion**: Also 25.11 - keep in sync with system version
+- **Unfree packages**: Enabled system-wide via `nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree`
+- **User groups**: l-wyatt is member of: networkmanager, wheel, docker, dialout
+- **User linger**: Enabled for background services
