worldofpeace 397c7d26fc installer: Don't run as root
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.

This is a growing technical debt, let's just use
passwordless sudo.

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.
