[Nix-dev] nvidia proprietary / i7 notebook - does not start

[zimbatm]

Writing from the phone so I don't have all the references at hand.

There are currently two issues with NixOS that might affect you:
* Nvidia Not creating the device driver properly
* GDM tty allocation issue, this leads in GDM repeatedly crashing and
making the console unusable because of the interruptions.

There is a PR pending that fixes both issues but needs testing.
