It was not too hard if you are already familiar with Nix. The features supported (and the custom Linux kernel) can be found in surface-linux. For NixOS I used the nix-hardware flake to simplify things.

The worst part was the compilation of the Linux kernel, that took hours on the surface. Eventually, I used the remote nix build feature to compile on a more capable computer.

My goal is to figure out a system where I can declare the shape of a robot like this (armature size, number of joints, offsets etc) to create a virtual model of the robot.

This sounds like URDF.

Now, I’m sure there are systems and packages that do all the math for this already, so what tools/libraries do you guys use to do modeling like this?

It is normal to use ROS to send instructions and receive feedback from robots, you can also setup a simulated environment with ROS and Gazebo.

ROS can be a bit rough to get into, if you need any help, you can post on the ROS community.

I use both Julia and Rust, I did shot a few times in the foot with Julia (for instance, getting memory leaks on the GPU). Now, I use Julia (the REPL) when I want to quickly script some code and use Pluto.jl to plot data and teach programming.

You can add me to c/julia, I already made a post.
