This configuration sets up a standard GPT (GUID Partition Table) that is
compatible with both EFI and BIOS systems and mounts the disk as `/dev/sda`. You
may need to adjust `/dev/sda` to match the correct disk on your machine. To
identify the disk, run the `lsblk` command and replace `sda` with the actual
disk name.

For example, on this machine, we would select `nvme0n1` as the disk:

```
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
nvme0n1 259:0 0 1.8T 0 disk
```

If this setup does not match your requirements, you can choose an example that
better suits your disk layout from the
[disko examples](https://github.com/nix-community/disko/tree/master/example).
For more information about this configuration, refer to the
