What if, instead of generating some Nix code, we first describe the current hardware in an intermediate format? This hardware report would be _'pure'_, devoid of any reference to NixOS, and intended as a stable, longer-term representation of the system.
From here, we can create a series of NixOS modules designed to examine the report's contents and make the same kinds of decisions that `nixos-generate-config` does. The critical difference is that as NixOS evolves, so can these modules, and with a full hardware report available we can make more interesting config choices about things such as GPUs and other devices.
