I like gentoo's package deprecation process
NixOS recently introduced "problem" infrastructure to deal with such problems more gracefully and explicitly:

NixOS and Flakes Book: An unofficial book for beginners (free)
For some more context: Flawed as they are, Flakes solve a large number of problems Nix experiences without them. This is why I, and presumably many others, use them even in their current experimental state.
An RFC was recently accepted to commit to forming a plan towards stabilization of Flakes: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/136
Personally, I don't believe there won't be any breaking changes, but I also believe that the stabilization of Flakes is still a ways away and hope that there will be a reasonable migration path.

Super Colliding Nix Stores: Nix Flakes for Millions of Developers
> Afterwards, Flakes itself and its CLI components can be stabilized. The final design of Flakes will also require another RFC.
That seems like Flakes are still quite a ways away.

First, the non-Flakes CLI wll be stabilized, in phases.

Lanzaboote vs. bootspec-secureboot
Both require the Bootspec patches, only support systemd-boot, have recent activity, and include a Rust-based tool for signing images.

Using NixOS as a Hypervisor for a k3s Cluster in Homelab, can I define the VMs in Nix config?
I just found an RFC for similar that was unfortunately closed back in the day: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/12

Couple of noob questions
So first, I'm a bit confused about AUR. I'm not aware of what you're describing. I heard about AUR-like repo for Nix (called NUR https://github.com/nix-community/NUR).

Adding extensions to firefox using home manager
You are trying to install a package from NUR without actually adding it to your flake. Add NUR as an input for you flake and use it's overlay in your configuration.

How to install NordVPN onto NixOS
Hi, I'm the author of the PR :) I uploaded it to NUR precisely so that it would be available sooner. However, as I wrote in the thread yesterday, as of this PR one of the components the package was relying on was deprecated. I'm still trying to make it work again using the new buildFHSEnv. However, if you're running 22.11 or haven't updated your local version of nixpkgs beyond that PR, it should still work.

Is there NO alternative to the aur?
Nix also has the NUR. I have never needed to use it, while when I used arch I had many AUR packages.

Anyone figure out how to apply nvidia-patch in nixos?
Follow the NUR installation instructions and it should be in pkgs.nur.repos.arc.packages.nvidia-patch.

Best practices for organizing code repository for multiple machines? What about deployment?
As for the community repo, there's nur but only 120 people use it.. I think the reason nixpkgs is so big is that the community is pretty accepting of accepting loads of different packages.
