Ask HN: How to Manage Phones and PCs for Elderly Parents?
You might want to set up NixOS with impermanence, with something like https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence. Install an easy to use desktop environment like ElementaryOS, and configure NixOS with or without Flatpak, if you want to give the user the ability to install new software or not. Then set up automatic updates, automatic garbage collection and you have a truly stable system.

Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
I would not call these projects unbelievable, but they are neat.

Every NixOS rebuild creates a new Tailscale machine
That way will work - I use the impermanence module which works similarly but allows to hide mounts.

Silverblue users: why?
This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

File system choice for Impermanence setup
I have recently stumbled upon Impermanence - modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage, and the concept seems quite nice.

Erase your darlings: Can this be applied to /home?
I haven't used it yet but nix-community/impermanence has a home-manager module that might be useful.

Interested in NixOS, have some questions
Some files in /etc (like saved networks) will still not be managed by NixOS, if you want to have full control over them use Impermanence

Upgrading to NixOS 22.11 Issue

Microsoft Is Driving Users Away
Always useful to look at the seemingly endless stream of Linux information, the Arch wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_ROG_Zephyrus_G14_(2022...
Also NixOS has a nixos-hardware repository with configurations for some laptops:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/asus/zep...
Reasonably legible if you ever programmed anything

A couple nooby questions
Btw, for starters, I think you can learn a lot by checking other's configurations and from things like https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware. There are a lot of useful/essential configurations that are not enabled by default.

Setup -Advice or another attempt to dive deep
in that case do note that this module assumes you use nixos-hardware, otherwise you can remove lines 161-165. I can also send you my VM's libvirtd .xml file when you get around to creating it.

Xorg fails to start with the modesetting driver
My computer is a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with a dual GPU setup (AMD iGPU + Nvidia DGPU) where I'm using a "hybrid mode" configuration provided by nixos-hardware, using PRIME offload.
Not too long ago nixos-hardware changed the default Xorg driver for AMD to modesetting from amdgpu.
