The Curse of NixOS
This is a pretty good example the kind of victim blaming I'm talking about. It's a kind of insidious toxicity that permeates certain communities, although I've not been able to put my finger on what exactly brings it out, or why it's so tightly clung to as an acceptable behavior in some places.
I actually tried to help for awhile, and even started a help guide https://github.com/kstenerud/nixos-beginners-handbook/
But eventually one gets ground down and demoralized enough to just give up. It's a real shame, because I LOVE what NixOS is trying to accomplish.

Diving straight into flakes with no channels?
You can also take a look at my server configuration which uses flakes. And my separately-managed home-manager configuration which also uses flakes

So I’m hooked on this declarative configuration business. How deep does the rabbit hole go? Can I “rice” my desktop with just one file?

libstdc++.so.6 => not found
I configure my neovim through home-manager. My configuration. Pulling vimPlugins from nixpkgs should give you something which works with NixOS (or anywhere for that matter, NixOS is essentially a clean room).

A Cross-Platform tool to deploy dot files
My dot file repo.

Using NixOS and Arch on separate machines
Home-manager link My example setup
-
Neovim unstable
Reference: - home.nix entry - Which refers to it's own dedicated file
- should i move all my pkgs from configuration.nix and move to home manager?
-
Installing every Arch package
If you want to take nix for a spin, i would recommend trying home-manager. It's essentially NixOS, but for dot files. It can install packages and services in addition to manage configuration. Also, I've been able to get it work on NixOS, WSL2, ubuntu, and macOS. Personal configuration if you're curious how it would look.
