Arch noob
Establishing a backup strategy. I'm using BTRFS with snapper and a pacman hook that creates a new snapshot before each upgrade. With ext4 I used timeshift. Besides that, I save my arch configuration with aconfmgr and my files with borg

New machine, same system: Top to bottom vs bottom to top
Since my last cloning I've setup aconfmgr and and systemd-homed. I've also been playing around with archinstall configs to partition the system with encryption how I like. In the future I'm planning to use archinstall and aconfmgr to setup a new system for me and then I'll copy over the backup of my home directory.

Best way to "log" a re-creatable install?

Rebuild a system
Have you tried aconfmgr? In addition to installing packages, it also tracks configurations in /etc and modified files.
- Alternatives to home-manager?

New arch install and partitioning, what's the best way to make backups that doesn't take up a ton of disk space?
For my backup I keep files in my home directory synced with my NAS via syncthing. For my system backup I don't actually backup up my system, I configure my system via aconfmgr and that config is stored in my home directory and synced to my NAS. Using aconfmgr to "backup" my system is extremely space effecient, my aconfmgr config is only 1.7 MB.

is there a good way to synchronize the system between different machines?
aconfmgr (in AUR) can be used to save and restore system configurations and installed packages. For user configuration you can use a dotfile manager like chezmoi (in repo).

Backup of system and package settings
I know you prefer backing up manually, but aconfmgr might be for you.

What do most people forget to do on a new install that's important?
To get something closer to nix on arch I like to use aconfmgr.

Is there anything similar to Arch's aconfmgr for Gentoo? A program that can track, manage and restore your Gentoo configuration?
For those who are not familiar with Arch's aconfmgr, well I have not used it before but just saw it in a post. But it seems to be a configuration manager for Arch. It tracks, manages, and restores your Arch Linux OS configuration.

Really have some trouble setup a minimal Neovim flake
Don't use nix build to build neovim. Add an overlay to your flake and use home-manager programs.neovim option. It will automatically compile latest neovim for you when you rebuild the configuration.

Goodbye Arch, hello sexy new SilverBlue
There is no centralised way of sharing user packages. But you can create package overlays or use sombodys overlays if you can find them (e.g. I use neovim nightly overlay).

How do I use an overlay with nix-env without NixOS
However, then you run into this issue.

Can I set make flags for a package?
Ok so I am using https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay to build neovim from source in order to use the latest features. Does anyone know of any way I can specify makeflags, such as march=native or O3 when building the package? Thanks so much for your help.

NixOS' minimal ISO is now 100% reproducible!
I'm using https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay which does get Neovim 0.5 running, it's just not using my init.lua properly, picking up its own init.vim instead.
