How do I actually update home-manager?
$ home-manager --version 23.05 $ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-23.11.tar.gz home-manager $ nix-channel --update $ nix-shell '' -A install [...] All done! The home-manager tool should now be installed and you can edit /home/MY-USERNAME/.config/home-manager/home.nix to configure Home Manager. Run 'man home-configuration.nix' to see all available options. $ home-manager --version 23.05

Possible to use KDE plugins on nixos?
Unfortunately until we find more volunteers in this area, it is hard to see status quo changing. See also https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/607 and this ongoing project https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager

An Overview of Nix in Practice
> Channels are, AFAIU, a reference to some point-in-time/commit/version of nixpkgs
It's not specifically nixpkgs, but any Nix code generally.
Per the Nix manual[0]:
> Channels are a mechanism for referencing remote Nix expressions and conveniently retrieving their latest version.
e.g. home-manager's suggested channel is just the github tarball for the relevant branch[1]:
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager

Fake recruiter Lazarus lured aerospace employee with trojanized coding challenge
It sounds like you'd benefit a lot from Nix/NixOS [1], if not just home-manager[2].

Need help on home manager neovim config
I'm using flakes and home manager and not really sure how to go about managing my neovim configuration. I've read through some other posts, github issues, and various articles trying to suss out a good way to do this. Reading through other people's configs and posts was somewhat helpful but there is a lot going on I don't understand and everyone's examples I've seen vary wildly.

I want to like NixOS but... I can't and I need some help
I can't answer all your questions, but home-manager does have a dconf module that would probably be better to use than that external tool. Everything inside the options block are the things you can pass to the dconf module.

Silverblue users: why?
This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

I have a few beginner question, what is the difference between nix shell/env and what is the difference between flakes/home-manager?
home-manager is a tool to manage your home with modules. It is like NixOS but for your home. It doesn't really have much to do with flakes except that you can use it with flakes.

Need some Help !
By default, you can just configure everything in your profile the way you would in a normal Linux distro (dotfiles). The only exception is /etc (you need to manage those files from NixOS options). However, if you want to use Nix for your dotfiles, you can use home-manager.

Burgr – Books in Your Terminal
We live in a time of a Renaissance of terminal tools. I recently discovered Himalaya[1], a command line tool for email, and I really like it. I'm also interested in exploring a new tool for calendar called qcal[2]. I'm kicking around writing a chat client for GroupMe for the terminal right now. That way I could finally ditch pidgin.
Like the OP, I spend all day in tmux these days, which is in many ways the most superior UI[3]. As a bonus, CLI tools are often cross-platform and very easy to write.

Announcing lettre 0.10
I haven't done a lot of email parsing in Rust but I'd look into what https://github.com/soywod/himalaya uses. If it becomes necessary we might do that too at some point in lettre.

Himalaya has Vim integration.

Command line email filters
For CLI, looks like himalaya is a tool you looking for. It isnt filter, but just email client.

Email daemon to save attachments to a directory
IMHO, the easiest solution for your case is to use himalaya on scheduler/cron, check in a script for attachment and download it to some folder on a NAS.

What's a good CLI (not TUI) IMAP and remote SMTP client?
Check himalaya, it doing smtp and imap using plain CLI. You can even get access to email headers by switching to raw mode.
