It walks through why NixOS Containers and System Specialisation weren't a good fit, and how patching the systemd-boot NixOS module — adding a configurable boot-entry prefix and an option to skip managing loader.conf — lets each instance keep its own EFI folder and loader entries without stepping on the other. It closes with practical safety tips and a known limitation around duplicate NVRAM boot entries. https://mandos.net.pl/en/blog/tech/week-in-wonderland/2026/w28/ Sun, 12 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://mandos.net.pl/en/blog/tech/week-in-wonderland/2026/w28/ Cleaning up branches and setting up partial clone on the nixpkgs repo, and chasing a phantom Display Port failure through a NixOS flake update.
