With networkmanager we can provide a much more welcoming network setup
experience in the installer and it costs us less than 10 MB with this
configuration on the minimal ISO.
By default, for new profiles it will enable DHCP and RA and allow
interactive reconfiguration through `nmtui` or `nmcli`. Especially the
TUI interface is very easy to pick up and removes the need for typing in
manual commands when setting up the WLAN connection.
Since DEs like KDE Plasma 6, GNOME and COSMIC are not designed to be X11-exclusive, putting them under `services.xserver` is misleading. In particular, GNOME defaults to Wayland these days and X11 support is going to be dropped in near future.
Let’s follow Plasma and move GNOME NixOS options out of `xserver` attribute.
This patch does not include any changes to X11 support itself.

xf86-video-intel is now working again due to a bug fix in Mesa. So this
re-introduces the section on the intel driver and screen-tearing while
discouraging its use generally.
xf86-video-intel is now incompatible with the latest Mesa: it may fix
screen tearing, but this is not really worth the other downsides, so we
should stop recommending it.
We recommend `modesetting` unless the GPU is so old to be unsupported,
and mention picom is screen tearing is too bad. Hopefully the next Xorg
release will fix this.
- rename hardware.opengl to hardware.graphics
- remove hardware.opengl.driSupport, which does nothing
- remove hardware.opengl.setLdLibraryPath, which should never be done
- rename hardware.opengl.driSupport32Bit to hardware.graphics.enable32Bit
- lost of small docs / formatting cleanups
I found this while perusing the manual thinking about whether or not to install NixOS on my new laptop. It threw me for a loop for a second but as best I can tell this meant to be ".org" like the rest of the example, and not ".com"
In the initial configuration the enablePHP config option is present. In the following abstracted example the commonConfig doesn't include it anymore.
Previous PRs #88505 and #284906 added the enablePHP config option to the commonConfig. @aanderse commented in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/88505#issuecomment-632575200 the usage of enablePHP shouldn't be encouraged, `services.phpfpm` should be preferred whenever possible. So we remove the enablePHP config from theses examples.
that NixOS manual section talks a lot about Nixpkgs package
configuration, which really should not be there but rather in the
Nixpkgs manual itself. but this is a rabbit hole for another time.

Its possible to install the nvidiaLegacy470 driver for the slightly outdated GPUs, but the documentation only has the hints how to install the drivers for the even older GPUs.
`beignet` saw no development since 2018 and was never ported from
`llvmPackages_6`. Is it's a library to support `OpenCL` on older GPUs
let's drop it from `nixpkgs`.
