+* What is this?
+A [[https://nixos.org/][NixOS]] config using [[https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes][flakes]]
+
+* Why is this?
+- I got tired of babying my system
+- I got tired of reinstalling my system every year just to keep it clean and fresh
+- I got tired of not updating my system in fear of black screen
+- I got tired of re-learning and re-doing my setup on every reinstall
+
+* Caveat emptor:
+This config is NOT designed, intended, built for anybody's needs but mine. It grew organically over time, as I learned more (which is still quite little in general Nix/NixOS terms).
+Please do not use this for any purpose other than self-amusement.
