jade 83247b1c38 releng: clarify/update docs, add instructions after tag
This is not a proper fix for the confusion that can happen about how the

For a proper fix, we need to do
lix-project/lix#439 and implement
worktrees such that the user never sees the git state anymore.

Lix

Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For systems that already have a Nix implementation installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
