Is Using nix-env an Antipattern?
Nowadays, I tend to try things out with comma, then add them to my configuration for later use. Some tools are not even installed in my systems because I use them so infrequently - opening a terminal and running , freecad is basically as easy as actually having it installed.

hook nix-shell on zsh command not found
There's a version of this approach that uses nix-index to figure out which package a command is in called comma: https://github.com/nix-community/comma

Nix journey part 0: Learning and reference materials
Relatedly, check out comma. It's basically a shortcut prefix command that will search packages for the binary you want to run (via nix-index), and gives you an interactive choice if there are multiple. Which package was drill in again? No matter, I'll just prefix a comma :)

Why does nix/nixos even allow the "temporary" install of things?
Yeah dude. Emphemeral installs are a feature, not a bug. Similar vein is , https://github.com/nix-community/comma

Reddit, Twitter, Shopify scramble to deploy 'instant buy' 2021 MacBook Pro
One of the nicest tools is comma. https://github.com/Shopify/comma. It's just a light weight wrapper around searching nix-pkgs and running something, but it sure makes a lot of things easier when you're sharing somebody else's laptop.

Having trouble getting started adding packages to my user
If you want to test out some program, I would STRONGLY recommend using nix-shell -p . This will create temporary environment, that will allow you to test out the package. You can also check out comma.

Why is the documentation... nowhere to be found?!
For me, https://search.nixos.org/ is a better aid than the wiki. Often the right keyword in the NixOS packages or modules search will lead me right to the obvious and simple answer that I couldn't find elsewhere.

Nix packages security, safety, and privacy
Does https://search.nixos.org/ pull from nixpkgs, the Nix User Repository, or both?

What is the difference between:
Just go to search.nixos.org, open the option you would like to see more of, and click on the link behind "Declared in".

Where to find SAR in the package manager?
I've done a nix-env query, and checked in https://search.nixos.org but can't seem to find any SAR package, nor any google search that gave any hints to see if it might be part of another system utility package...

Thinking about to switch from Fedora Sliverblue to NixOS with following use caseā¦
Idk about ec_sys, I couldn't find it on search.nixos.org, but since it's a kernel module it might just come with the kernel idk.

How do you quickly browse the source of a flake input
I rarely think to look at flakes by their source, actually. I have a Nixpkgs clone that I jump into for anything super ad-hoc but most of the time I'm just doing REPL, :lf ./. and mashing tab-completion. That's usually to make sure the thing I'm after exists in one of the large package sets like node, vimPlugins, or similar, and that I got the name right - which could probably be answered just as easily with https://search.nixos.org/ .
