Overview
This PR introduces full declarative support for NixOS. Instead of relying on imperative package management, Brain Shell can now be installed natively as a Nix flake. The flake handles all Qt6, QuickShell, and system dependencies immutably, while a new distro-specific bash script wires up the mutable user configs and Hyprland autostarts.
Type of Change
Testing Checklist
Description
Arch Linux remains fully supported and untouched via the existing install-arch.sh. For NixOS, the architecture is split to respect Nix conventions:
System Dependencies: Managed completely via flake.nix (pulls QuickShell, Qt6, Wayland tools, fonts, and system services into environment.systemPackages).
User State: Managed via install-nix.sh to handle ~/.config generation, cache initialization, and safely appending autostarts to the active Hyprland config.
Changes
Updated README: Added clean, 4-step NixOS setup instructions for end users.
