Combining traditional dotfiles and NixOS configurations with Nix flakes
Hello! I have my "traditional" dotfiles separate from my NixOS configuration for reasons (mostly because text editor configurations are chaotic). Fortunately, there are options in NixOS to combine them but in this post, I focused on accomplishing that with Nix flakes.

how do you keep your installation clean and tidy?
I use Nix/NixOS. My system state is a direct result of my config that is declared in a bunch of text files. For example, leaf packages that are installed system-wide are declared here: https://github.com/Atemu/nixos-config/blob/e646c4ec1aac80cfdf7b8c79debcfaee70237018/packages.nix

Audiophiles on Linux; how is it?
If it matters, my distro is NixOS and here's the machine's system config: https://github.com/Atemu/nixos-config/blob/95f9bb201ab4c2ab95fb3089909f5951a0646699/configs/HEPHAISTOS/default.nix

How do you backup/restore your system?
If something really goes south, I can have my entire system rebuilt automatically almost to the bit within 5-20min (mostly dependant on Internet speed) because my system is reproducible from just a bunch of text files.

Yast like tool for other distros?
Here's my desktop configuration to give you an idea: https://github.com/Atemu/nixos-config/blob/0e97d9af632852e7440563a9b5976663e61071b7/desktop.nix

What distro are you guys running?
If you want to know more: https://nixos.org/ Here's how such a system declaration can look like: My current desktop configuration, packages "installed" system-wide.

1:1 backups, am i missing something obvious
If you're looking for a way to restore your system configuration should your drive go kaput, perhaps look into declarative means of configuration instead. With those, your system is defined by a few text files and restoring or duplicating it is trivial. If you want to stay with Arch (great distro), imperative tools like Ansible, Puppet or Chef should work. If you want to try greener pastures, look into NixOS which is what I use. All I need to restore my machine is a few text files like this one (I just clone the git repo).

Getting rid of the need for the usecase Linux distribution
It only takes https://github.com/Atemu/nixos-config/blob/master/configs/HEPHAISTOS/default.nix#L14 and all these settings are applied: https://github.com/Atemu/nixos-config/blob/af0960a7f7b0d6b9d775015c63a107ede6f63c82/desktop.nix

Does anyone else record all the changes they make and store it in a bash script?
Here's the list of packages available in all my systems or my desktop configuration to give you an idea.

How NixOS does distro-building right
Set it up once precisely the way you like it, run forever. You only need slight tweaks every now and then to keep up with progress. On how many machines you want with as much shared configuration you want, any time you want. If your NixOS boot drive died, you could have a working NixOS system that's exactly[3] like the old one in a matter of minutes depending on your internet and hardware speed. (Without user data of course.) All you need is one (or a few if you prefer) lean text files that can and should be tracked in a git repo like this on: https://github.com/Atemu/nixos-config
