+description: "Install the Nix package manager"
+type: toggle
+stability: alpha
+
+warning: |-
+    This enables the Nix package manager by executing the Determinate Systems 
+    Nix Installer silently. Stability is alpha as it does mess with your root
+    btrfs (It creates a subvol with higher compression, thanks to Nix's large
+    storage requirements). Nix allows for ephemeral shells as well as 
+    reproducable development and execution environments without the need for 
+    a container runtime or virtualization.
