Nix is a better Docker image builder than Docker's image builder
There are attempts like
https://flake.parts/
or
https://github.com/nix-community/flakelight
Their aim is to create an ecosystem of reusable Nix libraries. But it is tiny.

Nix noob question
You can also just install flakes doing nix profile install . I wrote a tool to make it a bit easier, npt but it's completely optional. Once you install the packages with nix profile. Then in your repos you can use a flake with a devShell and run nix develop. Check https://flake.parts to write your flakes.

I'm getting on the hype train. What do you recommend to beginner?
Definitely use flakes from the get-go. It's much more sane. Nix's documentation can be unorganized, but read through it when you can. Modules and other projects tend to have their own documentation as well, like Home Manager and flake-parts
