    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

    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

  • Is there any equivalent to a curated Fedora/Ubuntu? A NixOS-based distro or metarepo of configs perhaps?

    I am not in a state to write a detailed recommendation list for all the things you've mentioned, but: - There is indeed an official Matrix room: #nix:nixos.org . I believe this is the most popular Nix community out there. - As for multiple hosts, there are different approaches out there. Typically you will write NixOS "modules" (which are like pieces of configuration) and then merge (combine) them together, along with some machine-specific overrides, to get configurations for all your machines. I do something similar for my config. Here are the modules: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/tree/master/profiles which configure different pieces of my system, then those modules are combined into "roles" (e.g. here's a desktop role: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/roles/desktop.nix) and then those roles are imported from actual machine configs with some overrides (e.g. here's the config for the box I'm writing this from: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/machines/AMD-Workstation/default.nix)
