Problem

https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/8e865f3aba526394ca333efe7258bd8db0050fbb/doc/manual/src/installation/installing-binary.md?plain=1#L53 only has one command for all UNIX-derived OSes, whereas https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-macos:~:text=sh%20%3C(curl%20-l%20https%3A%2F%2Fnixos.org%2Fnix%2Finstall) and https://nixos.org/download.html#nix-install-linux:~:text=sh%20%3C(curl%20-l%20https%3A%2F%2Fnixos.org%2Fnix%2Finstall)%20--daemon provide different ones. It also doesn't include any Windows installation documentation.

Proposal

Replace https://nixos.org/download.html with https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/8e865f3aba526394ca333efe7258bd8db0050fbb/doc/manual/src/installation/installing-binary.md#installing-a-binary-distribution, and update it to include all of the most recent improvements.
