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?

Nix flake --impure segfaults

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.
