I have not slept a lot for one week but this work needed some stretch. It was surprisingly hard to find material where NixOS is used "only" as a tool. It is an alternative to Yocto and Buildroot for me, as this is exactly where I use it, and where I previously used aforementioned builders.

Thus, I've postponed to do this for two years, although the idea has been spinning on my mind for some time (especially for testing aarch64 kernel with the help of macOS w/o having to install Asahi). Week of insomnia starts to pay off...

@raito IMHO, it is good to promote projects like I have (and will also end up to MAINTAINERS file after it becomes my daily CI). for the sake open source community detox :-)

"I love Fedora on my host but I still see NixOS as a one of kind tool for building operating system images"

If I start to look at some project I'm contributing to, or software that I use, as "a clan", then it is time to do be offline for some time and do more exercise etc. :-) I've been there too (not judging).

@jarkko Sure, that's fairly reasonable

I just meant that unfortunately work along these topics are closed source due to being work products
