### 2. Replace Placeholders
### 2. Review Configuration Defaults
Edit the following files and replace these placeholders:
Defaults are set in `flake.nix` and used across modules. Update them there:
| Placeholder | Example Value | Files |
|-------------|---------------|-------|
| `<hostname>` | `desktop` | `flake.nix`, `modules/common.nix` |
| `<username>` | `john` | `modules/common.nix`, `modules/dev.nix`, `modules/gaming.nix` |
| `<timezone>` | `America/New_York` | `modules/common.nix` |
| `<locale>` | `en_US.UTF-8` | `modules/common.nix` |
| Setting | Example Value | File |
|---------|---------------|------|
| `hostname` | `desktop` | `flake.nix` |
| `username` | `john` | `flake.nix` |
| `time.timeZone` | `America/New_York` | `modules/common.nix` |
| `i18n.defaultLocale` | `en_US.UTF-8` | `modules/common.nix` |
Also rename the `hosts/hostname/` directory to match your actual hostname, and ensure the same hostname is used for all `<hostname>` placeholders (including in `flake.nix`).
Also rename the `hosts/<hostname>/` directory to match your actual hostname, and ensure the same hostname is set in `flake.nix`.

Generate a password hash and save it to `/etc/nixos/secrets/<username>/password.hash`:
```bash
mkpasswd -m sha-512
