## Firmware Configuration
== Firmware Configuration ==

Not much tweaking of NixOS itself was needed. But we currently cannot automate the firmware setup, so this must be done by hand.

### Before installation
=== Before installation ===

These settings are needed both for booting the final install, and installer itself. Therefore, they must be done first.

- **Disable Secure Boot (but keep UEFI Boot).** Thankfully doing so is as easy as changing any other simple setting.

- **Disable Intel hardware RAID and use AHCI instead.** Intel doesn't seem to provide a working linux driver for this. (If you just have SSD it's pointless and just slows things down needlessly anyways.)

Update: The 48.ucode causes the Killer wifi card to crash. The iwlfwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode works perfectly. default.nix contains an overlay that removes the offending ucode from the linux-firmware bundle.

Disable the `canTouchEfiVariables` after a boot or two to prevent NVRAM wearout.

- **Add systemd-boot to UEFI boot list.** The (uneditable anyways) settings mapping drive UUIDs to HD* work fine.
