There's many reason why it is and is going to continue to be difficult to do this: 1. All display-managers (excluding slim) default PAM rules disallow root auto login. 2. We can't use wayland 3. We have to use system-wide pulseaudio 4. It could break applications in the session. This happened to dolphin in plasma5 in the past.

To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need
for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at
https://nixos.org/nix/download.html
When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project
(i.e., `nixpkgs`), run:
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the
manual got generated.
