nixos-apple-silicon works on M2 15" Macbook Air (2023)

No issue to report, just a big thank you.

I bootstrapped NixOS from Asahi Linux (Arch) by using NIXOS_LUSTRATE by just cloning the nixos-apple-silicon repo under /etc/nixos, manually copying the firmware files to /etc/nixos, adding it to imports and following the official installation guide.

Once I booted into NixOS I configured it as a flake. Webcam worked out of the box. Fantastic!
