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.

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.

Setup -Advice or another attempt to dive deep
in that case do note that this module assumes you use nixos-hardware, otherwise you can remove lines 161-165. I can also send you my VM's libvirtd .xml file when you get around to creating it.

nix-shell and nixos running different version (unstable)
Installed back on 22.05, switched to unstable by updating nixos channel and currently have the following in my sudo nixos-channel --list nixos [https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable](https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable) nixos-hardware [https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/archive/master.tar.gz](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/archive/master.tar.gz)

Is anyone here using nix with modern hardware? r
Generally speaking, latest hardware is more likely to have issues. For example, 12th gen Intel CPUs weren't supported until kernel 5.15. Also check out https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware

Issues installing NixOS on some laptops, not booting to a GUI after installation
+1 for checking https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/ to see if there's a profile for your machine. See if someone else has already figured out how to set up your hardware & save yourself some work.
It tends to be hard. A general practice is to have a look at https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/ and try settings for your machine.
