Setup for NixOS

1. Get the latest NixOS ISO and boot into the installer/environment.
2. Format and mount your disks.
3. Follow these commands (you might need root privileges):

# Get into a Nix shell with Nix unstable and git
nix-shell -p git nixUnstable

# Clone my dotfiles (it has submodules)
git clone https://github.com/JavaCafe01/dotfiles /mnt/etc/nixos --recurse-submodules

# Remove this file
rm /mnt/etc/nixos/hosts/thonkpad/hardware-configuration.nix

# Generate a config and copy the hardware configuration, disregarding the generated configuration.nix
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
cp /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /mnt/etc/nixos/hosts/thonkpad/
rm /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix

# Make sure you're in the configuration directory
cd /mnt/etc/nixos

# Install this NixOS configuration with flakes
nixos-install --flake '.#thonkpad'

4. Reboot, login as root, and change the password for your user using passwd.
5. Log in as your normal user.
6. Follow these commands:
