20 Years of Nix
> I tried to install NixOS using the live cd last week in a Hyper-V VM, but it failed to get anywhere due to SquashFS errors.
Heh, that reminds me of installing NixOS back around 2014. I didn't have any way to physically boot off the install CD; so I ran it in qemu, using my real /dev/sda as the "virtual" hard drive (which I'd already partitioned). Thankfully there was no interference with the host system (Trisquel).
I'm still using (and evolved version of) the same NixOS config to this day; it still contains the following comment ( https://github.com/Warbo/nix-config/blob/master/nixos/machin... ):
trace "FIXME: Which modules are artefacts of using QEMU to install?"

The Curse of NixOS
Where nixpkgs2105 is a pinned revision of the Nixpkgs repo, defined in another overlay. My current Nix config has pinned Nixpkgs versions going back to 2016. For example, here's a bunch of such overrides:
https://github.com/Warbo/nix-config/blob/master/overrides/fi...
At the moment I'm using niv to manage the pinned Nixpkgs versions (the 'repoXXXX' entries):

Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
`nix-env` is an imperative command, whilst writing a .nix file is declarative. In particular, the latter can be managed using git.
For example, here's a system-wide config dating back to Feb 2015: https://github.com/Warbo/nix-config
(That's actually a NixOS config; my macOS config is in a private repo, but it imports that repo to define its "one big system package")

Here's mine https://github.com/warbo/nix-config
I've used Nix/NixOS for about 8 years, but not delved into flakes yet.
