And clearly bootloader-wise the thing we (as in, the entire RISC-V community) should be working on is boot.loade.efi for RISC-V but I digress.

{
	nix.buildMachines = [ {
	 hostName = "builder";
	 system = "x86_64-linux";
	 # if the builder supports building for multiple architectures, 
	 # replace the previous line by, e.g.,
	 # systems = ["x86_64-linux" "aarch64-linux"];
	 maxJobs = 1;
	 speedFactor = 2;
	 supportedFeatures = [ "nixos-test" "benchmark" "big-parallel" "kvm" ];
	 mandatoryFeatures = [ ];
	}] ;
	nix.distributedBuilds = true;
	# optional, useful when the builder has a faster internet connection than yours
	nix.extraOptions = ''
		builders-use-substitutes = true
	'';
