Improve battery life
I know that Pop os doesn't recommend installing tlp because it might interfere with system-76 power, Is it the same for something like powertop or auto-cpufreq?

NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).

How to install WiFi drivers for NixOs?
I found this GitHub link that contains instructions on how to compile the driver for most distributions. However, they require usage of make install so I don't think that would work on NixOs.

The Perfect Laptop
I have the older version with the 6900HS but it’s more or less the same. I’ve run pop_os as well as fedora on it. Everything works great but you’ll have to compile the wifi driver https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.

Using my usb wifi stick?
Realtek drivers are such a PITA. Check out this guys Github: Link he has instructions on how to get the most common realtek chipsets working. Please note, kernel updates will break the drivers for all realtek workarounds and you will have to redo this after each update.
