== Firmware Configuration ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not much tweaking of NixOS itself was needed. But we currently cannot automate the firmware setup, so this must be done by hand.

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
== Installation ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== Before installation ===
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ''Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).'' Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ''Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.'' Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this. (If you just have SSD it's pointless and just slows things down needlessly anyways.)

|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=== After installation ===
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ''Add systemd-boot to UEFI boot list.'' The (uneditable anyways) settings mapping drive UUIDs to HD* work fine.
