This adds a guide on how to set up Framework 12 on nixOS. This is my personal setup I have got using trial-and-error.

+# Framework 12 nixOS tweaks
+
+[nixos-hardware](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master/framework/12-inch/13th-gen-intel) repository provides some tweaks for Framework 12. 
+
+It can be enabled by adding the `nixos-hardware/framework/12-inch/13th-gen-intel` module to your nixOS modules.
+
+## Enabling the accelerometer
+
+The default configuration is suffering from the same issue as [ubuntu](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/framework12/Ubuntu-25-04-accel-ubuntu25.04.md)
+
+This is the same fix applied on nixos until upstream is fixed:
+```nix
+nixpkgs.overlays = [
+  (final: prev: {
+    iio-sensor-proxy = prev.iio-sensor-proxy.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: {
+      postPatch = oldAttrs.postPatch + ''
+      sed -i -e 's/.*iio-buffer-accel/#&/' data/80-iio-sensor-proxy.rules
+      '';
+    });
+  })
+];
+```
+
+## Gnome autorotate
+
+To enable autorotation you need to install the `screen-rotate` gnome extension:
+
+```nix
+environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.gnomeExtensions.screen-rotate ];
+```
+
+You can also in the Screen Rotate extension settings enable on-screen keyboard only in certain orientations.
