    I know you have'nt asked me, but maybe my auditional input on this topic is also helpful: With NixOS I find myself looking into the packages on a very regular basis! You can find the links within the search.nixos.org site. The modules are well documented and list all the options available. In case you are interested in a working flakes configuration: you can find mine as an example on GitHub. I'm allready using flakes it for a few months and I love it! The configs are pretty much self explanatory. I also use krops for deploying to multible systems. I've linked some helpful ressources I've used to get into NixoS within my README. https://github.com/mayniklas/nixos
  • People who use nix flakes for their system config, what do you do about the flake.lock?

    This is how I'm overriding the version, note that the other config options I'm setting are probably completely unnecessary. https://github.com/Maxwell-lt/machine-configuration/blob/master/modules/mullvad.nix#L15

    My favorite part of NixOS is that I can put the entire system configuration for all of my machines into a public GitHub repository, and steal from the repositories of other NixOS users who do the same.
