What does the function `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem` do?
Unless you want to handwire something together or use another higher level function from some 3rd party library, your want to use this function. It is basically the entrypoint to a flake based nixos system configuration. See https://github.com/NixOS/templates/blob/master/simple-container/flake.nix for an example.
- Would it make sense to start a repo which contains some "standard" flake.nix files for various types of projects?
- Have you convinced anyone to use Nix or NixOS? Friends? Coworkers?

I created a super simple flake.nix template so you can finally use python painlessly in your nix projects. Just copy a few lines over into your flake.nix and you can use all of PyPi :)
You should consider adding this as a template to https://github.com/nixos/templates.

Help me understand how to install something that isn't in the official nixpkgs
TL;DR: Let's say I want to install this but searching for it in nix search nixpkgs gomi shows no results. How do I install gomi the NixOS way?
