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?

Why can't things "just work" on NixOS?
There are some templates on the official repository. https://github.com/NixOS/templates You can find others on github.

Nix flake --impure segfaults
I am new to nix, and even newer when it comes to using flakes. I was trying out the following simple flake (based on this template), which just terminates with a segmentation fault whenever I use --impure flag (e.g. nix develop --impure)

Help me understand how to install something that isn't in the official nixpkgs
You would probably want to use flakes. There is NixOS/templates repo with flake templates. Take a look at go-hello one.

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.

How to add a haskell flake as the dependency for another haskell flake?
} I tried adding vox-hs = vox-hs-in.defaultPackage.${system} `` wherecallCabal2nixis called. This flake is taken from the [Practical Nix Flakes](https://serokell.io/blog/practical-nix-flakes) article which mentions this is where dependency overrides go. I have also trued adding my package as an overlay when definingpkgs`, but couldn't get this to work either. Whats the best method for a haskell flake to depend on another haskell flake? Thanks!

Migrating from Void Linux to NixOS, dotfiles and home manager!
Here's one intro guide to Flakes by Nix's creator Dolstra. Here's another good intro tutorial. Note that that last one also has our answer to wtf legacyPackages is:

what's the recommended setup?
This guide is what I use and it works well. Direnv is great and has integration with emacs if that’s your editor.

How should dependencies be specified for the Haskell C FFI with callCabal2Nix?
I've previously just used Stack's Nix support for simple builds; now I'm tyring to get up and running packaging a Haskell application (that uses the C FFI) as a Flake. I'm working from this base (borrowed from https://serokell.io/blog/practical-nix-flakes):

Nix-ifying a Rust project
I like the way crate2nix works. I have made a flake template for it here. Sometimes it requires a couple of overrides to fix some misbehaving crates (see https://github.com/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons/blob/master/flake.nix#L29 for an example of such overrides), but otherwise it's fantastic. It doesn't require any hash nonsense, it downloads and builds all the crates separately (unlike naersk or other solutions) so you get all the benefits of Nix (reproducibility and proper caching).
