[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.

Ask HN: Are there wrapper/runner programs that encrypt writes and decrypt reads?
How can a program accomplish this? by using/doing something like virtualization? emulation? syscall/API translation? e.g. like WINE?

Nix without NixOS, how doable is this and how much do I miss?
Essentially, running stuff that needs GL graphics is a bit funky... There's a workaround called nixGL though.
-
Calibre Replacement Considerations
I think installing Calibre is a good use case for installing Nix (www.nixos.org).
Unfortunately, you might also need https://github.com/guibou/nixGL to run graphical apps under Nix. It's a shell script to use the correct OpenGL library.

Nix-env apps on Debian unable to be executed via GUI KDE.
Try the NixGL wrapper.

Issue: with python-matplotlib
Are you running the Nix package manager on not-NixOS? If so I recall needing NixGL for OpenGL integration.

How do I update packages when using home-manager?
$ nix-channel --list home-manager https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-22.05.tar.gz nixgl https://github.com/guibou/nixGL/archive/main.tar.gz nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable

functional
Needs a separate program to run GUI applications on non-NixOS systems

Imagine your entire purpose being made completely obsolete by a single compiler option
IMO the proper solution to this is Nix/Guix, since they have the best of both worlds (sharing libraries where possible, but allowing different versions where needed). Shame that libGL is a mess and as such is difficult to get right in this way, and as such you need hacks like https://github.com/guibou/nixGL for most GUI stuff. That said, people are working on improving the situation.

Setting up my new laptop: Nix style
I get what you mean, but keep in mind that for every distro you're reliant on the community to get nvidia support integrated. Also if you only have few apps that require it, then the nixGL flake is not bad. https://github.com/guibou/nixGL
