Best way to setup Nvim on NixOS?
Power user, gvolpe has a great config that heavily customizes nvim.

Adding a Flake to my Config
I forked and customized a fairly advanced Nixos configuration that I can load from a flake on github. (Mine | Original)
-
Host-specific settings (different approaches)
I think gvolpe's nix-config repo is what u/ppen9u1n was referencing. Looks like there might be some good ideas to mine there.

Trying to port all official Cardano software to an open architecture and a more elegant Linux distro than Debian (NixOS on Risc-V) and this is the pushback I get.
I've seen this done with flakes by a NixOS power user named gvolpe. He has it configured to automatically setup each of his different systems with Home Manager, a custom UI, etc. His three different build targets are:
-
Nix-GUI: Make NixOS usable for non-technical users through settings / GUI
I think NixOS would benefit from easily accessible collection of opinionated modules/profiles/configurations with minimal set of options. Something like gnome-desktop / sway-desktop / etc. Gnome actually does pretty good job here.
The point is: currently my NixOS and Home Manager configurations have over 2k LOC total. When you search for configurations on GitHub/Google you are likely to find complex ones. For example, quick search for "nixos gnome" (Google) gives me link to NixOS Wiki (which describes only Gnome part) and blog post (https://gvolpe.com/blog/gnome3-on-nixos/) which is useful but links to really huge configuration (https://github.com/gvolpe/nix-config) that is overwhelming to any beginner.
Great example of such approach is nixos-hardware (https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware) which provides one-line configuration covering hardware quirks.

Nim packages stats
But take a look at devshell is like the NixOS/HomeManager of your (any language) project. I over abused it to create YAML files and to use Nim as script
