The motivation for this is that some applications are unaware of this feature and can set their volume to 100% on startup harming people ears and possiblly blowing someone's audio setup. I noticed this in #54594 and by extension epiphany[0]. Please also note that many other distros have this default for the reason outlined above. Closes #5632 #54594 [0]: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675217
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.
