Install scripts using Nix to achieve cross-distros

• This directory is currently WIP.
• See also Install scripts | illogical-impulse
• See also #1061

NOTE: The sdist/nix is not for NixOS but every distro, using Nix and home-manager.

TODO: Write a proper flake.nix and optionally home.nix and other files under ./sdist/nix/iiqs-hm/ to install all dependencies that ./sdist/arch/install-deps.sh does. (excluding the screenlock)

TODO: In this script, implement the process below:

1. Warning user about "this script is only experimental and must only use it at your own risks.", and prompt y/N (default N) before proceeding.
2. If nix not installed:
   1. install nix via NixOS/experimental-nix-installer
   2. Enable nix for shell
      • Update: Skip this step cuz the nix-installer will handle it automatically e.g. in /etc/zsh/zshrc.
   3. Ensure the experimental feature, Nix Flake, is enabled.
3. cd to iiqs-hm and use something like home-manager switch --flake .#iiqs to install the dependencies.
4. Install screen lock using system package manager of the current distro.

Note that this script must be idempotent.

TODO: Write guide for people already use nix, so they can manually grab things from this repo to their own Nix/home-manager configurations to install the dependencies.
