davidak f701bd5986 nixos/doc: improve install instructions
- Update download URLs
- Replace "USB stick"/"USB Drive" with "USB flash drive" as that seem more correct

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive
  https://elementary.io/docs/installation#choose-operating-system

- Don't mention CD as easiest option anymore,
  as all modern systems should be able to boot from USB,
  but many don't have a CD drive. Burning CDs is also usually wasteful as you
  can't burn them again.
- Remove link to NixOS Wiki (Making_the_installation_media) as it is not needed
- Add Etcher and USBImager as graphical tools to create install drive
- Make dd command consistent and use block size of 4 MB for faster flashing
- More consistent text
- Add instructions for "Booting from the install medium"

  Inspired by 9a91b0f495/docs/installation.md (booting-from-the-install-drive-booting-from-the-installation-medium-clear-float-2)

- Add instructions for "Graphical Installation"
- Restructure headings and anchors for "Manual Installation"
- Adding legacy anchors for "Manual Installation" to not break links

Jörg Thalheim f18befaaf4 nixos/doc/installation: fix alignment of created partitions
$ parted /dev/nvme1n1 -- mkpart primary linux-swap -8GiB 100%
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance: 3108850352s % 2048s != 0s
Ignore/Cancel?
Information: You may need to update /etc/fstab.

When using GB than parted seems to round up itself.

Dzmitry Malyshau e7898e1226 Add command to switch to root
Installation guide assumed you are root but didn't explain how to get there. And it's not obvious.
