Hi!

Recently I received my Framework Desktop, and noticed that Framework’s guide was not as detailed as I would’ve hoped. So I wrote a guide on how to do so using flakes, disko (zfs), and Framework’s hardware specific NixOS settings.

Hope it helps someone! 😄

Awesome, thank you for your work.  
I hope mine will be arriving soon.  
I’m not yet as proficient with nixos as I would like to, but it will for sure be the OS to install on the desktop.  
Your guide will be a great help!  
Gave you a follow on gh as well.  
Have a nice Christmas time. 🎅
