Nix noob question
You can also just install flakes doing nix profile install . I wrote a tool to make it a bit easier, npt but it's completely optional. Once you install the packages with nix profile. Then in your repos you can use a flake with a devShell and run nix develop. Check https://flake.parts to write your flakes.

Nix journey part 2: replacing apt and brew
Me too! That's why I wrote the small wrapper on nix to install imperatively, the npt, which gets the job done, though an official alternative would be better. I understand nix side, but it's hard to break old habits, and not only that, it would be ideal if I can install nix at my parents, and let them use a simple tool with nix underneath. This means for me, focusing only on nix.
