The post itself shows that it is non-trivial to even boot this hardware with Nix.

yes I know - I am implying a future where they Just Work and we do the hard work of building needed abstractions

my code is possible if people want it :) the real value of NixOS is hardware and OS config can be turned into libraries!

The only issues were needing to disable secure boot (which is usually a required step on laptops preinstalled with Windows anyways), and using a recent Linux kernel that has the required WiFi driver. Which the tutorial linked in the post mentions.

And then Linux in general is notorious for having issues with USB WiFi adapters. More info on that can be found here https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi
