virtualization: Disable interception-tools inside vm This fixes an issue where dual-function-keys would run on both the host and the virtual machine, thus causing issues with the escape key.

{ lib, ... }:
meta: Add network example This is a working example of using the modules in our existing configuration to start a network of virtual machines with nixos-build-vms. Note that VMs take longer to start up in this case than nixos-rebuild build-vm, and that said VMs may lack certain functionality (such as dynamic resolution in GNOME) that would otherwise be present with build-vm. Although networks are certainly cute (and I'm glad that I feel familiar with them thanks to my better understanding of Nix), they do seem less convenient than nixos-rebuild build-vm and don't appear to support Nix flakes. Networks therefore seem more useful for running multiple one-off services that couldn't otherwise be ran in a container.

meta: Share directories with virtual machines This *works*, and it's possible to edit files in one virtual machine while having those files instantly be updated in all other virtual machines. Note that the host will also have access to the files, which ultimately means that directory sharing is quite useful (and convenient).
