I bought Oneplus 6T with a purpose of putting NixOS Mobile on it. I knew it's going to be hard, since NixOS Mobile docs DOESN'T exist for flake based setups and the channel based setup docs are really bad.

I've found this guide for Oneplus 6, but it's literally all I have.

Yes, I know I would be better off if I had gone with PMOS or any other Linux on Mobile distro, but I like NixOS'es model too much to not use it on any device I own.

I'm quite experienced in the Linux phone space, I used Ubuntu Touch and Droidian before.

Btw what mobile DE do I go with? All options seem really interesting and it's hard to find any concrete information on them.

Take this with a grain of salt as I've never touched NixOS mobile and thus have obviously not tested any of this.

I think the solution is change the device = "oneplus-enchilada"; to device = "oneplus-fajita"; on line 29 of flake.nix

Theoretically, the rest of the guide should work.

It looks like the 6T will use the same firmware at the regular OnePlus 6
