Hyprland - A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor based on wlroots that doesn't sacrifice on its looks
I also took a lot of inspiration from this NixOS config that I think demonstrates a lot of things you can do with them.

Best way to manage multiple home manager configs for both NixOS and non-NixOS systems using flakes?
Check this repo for reference https://github.com/MatthiasBenaets/nixos-config

Passing variables from one file to another.
The other one I've seen seems more elegant, but I've only seen once and doesn't seem to be fully explain by the author: https://github.com/MatthiasBenaets/nixos-config/blob/master/flake.nix I've tried what he's showcasing here, but it doesn't work the variables are undefined and the tips given by nix-rebuild aren't enough for me to make sense of it.

NixOS-generators – Collection of VM and Container disk image builders for NixOS
I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.
Some specific ones I really like:
https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs
https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:
https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix
If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)
Some other unsolicited tips:
1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration
2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin
3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding
Good luck!

How do you set git in order to clone from private repo?
I don't think system.autoUpgrade will work at all with flakes since you'd need to update your flake lock file for anything to get updated. I've seen a way to do that automatically with github actions here.
