[Question] When using flakes, can I remove all channels?
You don't need channels to use nix-shell or nix-env. You can generate the Nix path and registry from your flake inputs. flake-utils-plus makes this easy with nix.generateRegistryFromInputs and nix.generateNixPathFromInputs.
-
How do I deploy a configuration to a machine with an existing hardware-configuration.nix?
Use flake-utils-plus to easily define multiple systems in flake.nix.and then use the --target-host flag of nixos-rebuild to deploy it remotely.
-
Have a shell command in configuration.nix that runs on nixos-rebuild
If you're trying to handle multiple systems with one config a flake is a significantly better option. I would personally recommend looking at flake-utils-plus and specifically this example config.

Best way to manage multiple home manager configs for both NixOS and non-NixOS systems using flakes?
I looked at some past threads / examples and saw people recommend flake-utils-plus, but after reading the examples I don't understand how I would get home-manager on Darwin or Ubuntu.

Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
Depending on your specific needs, the channelsConfig (modify arguments passed to Nixpkgs) and overlay tooling in flake-utils-plus may be adequate: https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus/tree/...

What to do...
For flakes you don't have to set up everything manually there are helper libraries, I use flake-utils-plus.
-
How shall I install a package not found at https://search.nixos.org/packages?
Converting to flakes is not that hard if you use a good library. The documentation is other people's configs, really.
-
I made a thing you can load in Nix repl to get variables from your NixOS configuration
Neat! I've been using flake-utils-plus's implementation until now. https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus/blob/master/lib/repl.nix
-
How to use a patched nixpkgs locally?
I use flake-utils-plus based configuration to apply patches on top of nixpkgs where overlays don't suffice.

Down bad.
And on top of that, it has the largest and most up-to-date package repository https://repology.org/repositories/graphs (100% official, has no such issues as AUR) and a super neat modules system that simplifies configuring your system and makes it easier to share your rices or whatever. Here are a couple of examples: - https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/nixfiles/blob/master/config/cli.nix - https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/nixfiles/blob/master/config/base-desktop.nix - https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/nixfiles/blob/master/config/sway.nix - https://search.nixos.org/options

flake-utils-plus v1.0.0
You may like this suites approach - https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/nixfiles/blob/master/flake.nix#L46-L55 ofcourse the whole flake can be separated into multiple files and all, but that's how I did it since I find it more convenient to manage fewer files
