It's not what you're asking but I wonder if NixOS's hardware repo could expand to support Framework with some good defaults

That being said, I think there could be a good use case for "meta" NixOS distributions. I'm working on such a thing for a NixOS based RetroArch type thing. But could see a PopOS like configuration, focused on on an “out the box experience”

Yes.

Anyone with the hardware is welcome to contribute to nixos-hardware!

Even "no-op empty configs" are good imo as they show "there's no magic sauce needed".

good to know; didn't think about "empty" configs
