As an addition to the last post, the finix project doesn't have any docs yet. It looks like there is an issue describing that need.

This thread is worth a read if you want to understand a little bit about how to get started. Finix is way more DIY than stock nixos, though they share the same package set. It purposefully has few to no defaults, so I suspect it'll feel more like Linux From Scratch than what most of us are used to.
But on the plus side, the maintainer has a working personal config they encourage folks to explore. It is flake based and has solutions for most standard operations, plus a bunch of TODOs that are in search of fixing, perhaps.
Looks like a simple niri box with a nice set of alternative systems tools and even a musl libc implementation if you want to play around with it.
Reading this gave me the inspiration to switch to the limine boot loader, which is fantastic!
