6. Build the system

   sudo nixos-install

7. Reboot (be sure to turn off secureboot as it's not configured yet but in setup mode to be able to enroll key)

8. Login with the root account and fetch the flake template

   nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' flake new -t github:m0nsterrr/nixos-home ./nixos-home && cd nixos-home

9. Follow Lanzaboot quickstart If sbctl is not available in the current context you can do nix-shell -p sbctl --run "sbctl create-keys"
