option one
make sure your first board is correct with the joice not the wall
give yourself 10mm off the wall in case it is not a square room
put the right hand row in starting with a full board but do not screw it up totally
then start second row with a full board bottom right ,if this row goes in you can totally screw up the boards
if not move row one slightly

As above you cannot always rely on the walls being square to the joists, so it maybe wise to run a straight edge across it first to see if it is significantly out of square. this will help you plan your first row of boards, always handy to have a couple of dead mans props made up to.

is nailing still used out in the pro domain?
not for at least ten years
too many nail pops
when screws became mandatory the tackers were paid extra as it took longer to screw ,using an ordinary cordless , rather than nail .
then came along the " collated screw gun" which most tackers i know use

Not for boarding, cannot remember the last time I had used a nail to board.
My dad was screwing boards up in the 1980s
