Refactor the entire configuration
With the release of the Nvidia 555 beta drivers and their improvements to
the Wayland experience I've finally decided to return to NixOS with
Hyprland again after 2 years of running Gentoo and Opensuse Tumbleweed
on X11. So this is me committing the work done so far from the last
couple of days. Future commits will be more incremental.

## Installing
This configuration uses impermanence with btrfs snapshots so you'll have to partition
your system in a certain way.
First you'll need this partition layout, assuming you're installing on `nvme0n1`.
```
DEVICE FILESYSTEM PURPOSE
/dev/nvme0n1
├─/dev/nvme0n1p1 vfat EFI partition
└─/dev/nvme0n1p2 btrfs Partition to house all the subvolumes
```
Inside of the btrfs root volume we're going to need 2 subvolumes.
```
SUBVOLUME MOUNT PURPOSE
root / Impermanent data
nix /nix Permanent data
```
You'll also need to create a read-only snapshot of the `root` subvolume
and call it `root-blank`.
After you've mounted all the subvolumes and EFI partition (`/boot`) in `/mnt`
clone this repository in to `/mnt/nix/config`. Adjust all the block ids of the partitions
in `hardware-configuration.nix` and create a hashed password using `mkpasswd` and store it
in the `secrets/{user}` directory as `pass`.
Finally, in the config directory run `nixos-install --flake '.#'`, reboot and you're done.
