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.

preinstalled wi-fi driver is unstable and i can't seem to install different wi-fi driver. any help? am still new to linux.

The Curse of NixOS
I'd recommend LUKS. NixOS has a guide in the wiki but if you're looking for an example, see my nix readme. Might have a typo or two but it's 99 percent there

NixOS on Framework Laptop
Not exactly the same but my journey started with nix home-manager on MacOS. Spent time getting it working how I wanted. I enjoyed it so much I replaced my Mac with nixos soon after
MacOS has second tier support to Linux. I'm sure PopOS will work well
