Alternatively, you can totally use `nix` and `home-manager` on your existing
distro (or even on Darwin). [Install nix](https://nixos.org/download.html#nix)
and follow along (just ignore the `nixos-*` commands).

- Add stuff you currently have on `/etc/nixos/` to `nixos` (usually
`configuration.nix` and `hardware-configuration.nix`, when you're starting
out).
- If you want to use NixOS: add stuff you currently have on `/etc/nixos/` to
`nixos` (usually `configuration.nix` and `hardware-configuration.nix`, when
you're starting out).
- The included file has some options you might want, specially if you don't
have a configuration ready. Make sure you have generated your own
`hardware-configuration.nix`; if not, just mount your partitions to
`/mnt` and run: `nixos-generate-config --root /mnt`.
- If you're already using home-manager, add your stuff from `~/.config/nixpkgs`
- If you want to use home-manager: add your stuff from `~/.config/nixpkgs`
to `home-manager` (probably `home.nix`).
- I also include one with some simple options if you need. Feel free to
ignore this step if you don't want to use home-manager just yet.
- The included file is also a good starting point if you don't have a config
yet.
- Take a look at `flake.nix`, making sure to fill out anything marked with
FIXME (required) or TODO (usually tips or optional stuff you might want)
- `git add` and `git push` your changes! Or at least copy them somewhere if
