 A tidy `$HOME` is a tidy mind.
 
+It takes a touch of madness to use nixOS. I arrived here because there are a few
+special computers in my life, local and remote, and maintaining them was
+busywork I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. 
+
+Nix, with its luscious tendrils, drew me in with a promise of glorious
+reproducibility and declared its declarative-ness with enough chutzpah to make
+anime real again. So, with XDG conventions in hand, I set out to conquer my
+white whale and annihilate what vestiges of my social life remain.
+
 ## Quick start
 
 ```sh
 # Make sure your partitions are set up by this point
 git clone https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles /etc/dotfiles
-HOST=hostname make
+HOST=hostname make install
 ```
+
++ `make` = `nixos-rebuild test`
++ `make switch` = `nixos-rebuild switch`
++ `make upgrade` = `nix-channel --update && nixos-rebuild switch`
++ `make install` = `nixos-generate-config --root $PREFIX && nixos-install
+  --root $PREFIX`
+
+## Overview
+
++ OS: NixOS 19.09
++ Shell: zsh
++ DE/WM: bspwm + polybar
++ Editor: [Doom Emacs][doom-emacs] (and occasionally [vim][vimrc])
++ Terminal: st + extensions
++ Browser: firefox (waiting for qutebrowser to mature)
