It's probably overkill for what you are trying to do. But I have been using home-manager [0] as a way to quickly restore my working environment.

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.

What does the minimal version of NixOS consist of?
I somewhere saw this project being mentioned: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt

Avoiding Complexity with Systemd
That's nice and it showcases how Nix can create a declarative process management atop a script-based imperative manager. How is your experience with it? Also note that there's https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt, a manager agnostic processes management framework supporting s6 among others, but your way seems a bit more straightforward.

is it possible to use nix on a non-systemd distro like void or artix?
There's a project still being developed: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt my understanding is that if home-manager would use it (I don't know if there is even plan to do that, it's not the same author), it would be able to work without needing systemd.
