E.g. when overriding `nix` with `pkgs.lix`, `nixos-option` will fail.
Given that I haven't used it in a very long time, I wanted to disable
it, but finding an option to turn off `nixos-option` is kinda hard given
that the options are generated here using `mkToolModule`.
I assumed that this isn't possible until I learned that
`system.tools.X.enable` exists. To me, this is a clear sign that these
shouldn't be internal.
Make sure that when re-assigning an overridden derivation to system.build.*,
the overridden derivation is also the one that ends up in
environment.systemPackages.
The Firefox module installs and enables the selected locale whereas the
Firefox package just uses the default locale. Hence, Firefox's language
was still English even when choosing a language other than English.
This reverts commit 2e702d07bb.
Segfaults during evaluation in yet-to-be-determined circumstances.
Investigation is ongoing, reverting for now to be safe.

This reverts commit ac849e5658.
Nix 2.24 segfaults semi-randomly during evaluation on specific configs (?).
This commit prepares for another revert, putting the default back to 2.18.
Upstream issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11547
these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
PR #256638 inadvertently introduced a bug in `nixos-generate-config` whereby it
would never put `bcache` into the `availableKernelModules` for the initrd.
This is because the `qr` operator in Perl returns a regex object, rather than
matching it; the regex object evaluates to true, making the filter expression
effectively `grep(!true, @bcacheDevices)`, which will always return an empty
list.
This script would always "detect" the "powersave" governor as it is available on
practically all CPUs while the "ondemand" governor is only available on some old
CPUs.
IME the "powersave" governor barely provides any power savings but introduces
massive performance deficits, including noticable stuttering. This is not the
default experience we should offer users, even for those who use laptops.
Use the kernel default (currently "performance", CPU makers may change it in
future) instead.
