The radical concept of NixOS and why I love it!
The first version of the hardware.nix file is generated during install of NixOS with the help of a modified Calamares installer, making it a very easy process and most likely will not have to be touched again.

Guide: Install Debian with Encrypted Root and Unencrypted Boot.
The reasons for wanting /boot to be unencrypted are varied. Maybe you want (much) faster boot time, or maybe you want to use a nice GRUB or Plymouth theme, or you use GRUB in a Multi-Boot scenario where you don't want/need to go through encryption first. Encrypting the /boot partition offers that extra .002% of security by protecting against Evil Maid attacks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_maid_attack), but comes with several tradeoffs which may not justify using it when it doesn't really apply to 99.998% of peoples' threat model. We can debate this here, but I feel like this has been pretty extensively covered online (e.g. https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1311) so feel free to do a search if you want to learn more. This guide is for people who are aware of the potential security risks, but for whom an Evil Maid attack is not something they need to worry about. Is this you? Cool! Read on...

I've decided I want to create my own distro, but I need a little help relating to the installer.
You can add your own scripts or programs to this environment to make the installation process easier. There are a few third party distro agnostic installers you could include as well such as calamares.

can I resell Raspberry Pi's with eOS on them?
But making an installer is hard to do from scratch. So you may want to modify an existing one, such as the one that elementaryOS uses, or the general-purpose calamares framework, in which case your installer is bound by the terms of their license to the extent you modified or are redistributing their code.

New to Linux & trying to install Debian. Which of these should i choose?
Yes, it is the Calamares installer. It is more straightforward than the Debian Installer in terms of questions and won't get too much into technical details that may overwhelm a newcomer and/or a non-technical person. The Debian installer is a bit more overwhelming, with the benefit of being a lot more flexible than Calamares.
