nixos-configuration VS nvfetcher

You can create custom nixos modules and enable them in desired systems. E.g. Here is my custom gaming module and here I enable it for one of my machines.

Sure, here is my rpi config. I'll need to check the bootloader file later and let you know.

I have slightly different workflow (direnv + flakes + poetry + nvim). Take a look at my template. You can put this flake.nix file in a poetry based project and type nix develop to enter a shell with activated poetry venv and all dependencies installed. Launch helix from this shell and you are good to go.

This is great. I have a very simmilar flake, but with venvShellHook so venv is also activated when I enter the project directort.

If you need reference, I have my setup on github.

Sorry from the invalid command, that is a derp from my side :x I also use zsh, but I don't have the same issue with # and I don't do anything special in my config to mitigate this... You can also use a backslash to escape this character (tab completion always inserts it for me). Anyway this is my zsh config if you need a reference.

Gnome can be configured programatically with dconf. You can use dconf-editor to explore available options and than set some option declaratively with home-manager. I use ths method to configure wallpaper, night light and gnome-terminal, but there are much more options. My config for reference.

Devops with Kubernetes, Go and Python here. Nix works great for this usecase, having all my tools defined in a single file is amazing. Although I mainly use Neovim, VSCode works fine as well. You can use such extension or simply enter a nix shell in the terminal and launch code . from there.

Pinning can be done without flakes, be it manually or with codegen (nvfetcher)

You should instead use the regular fetchGit, fetchFromGitHub etc. fetchers in fairly vanilla code, and yes, that often means dealing with checksums in some form. If you truly just want to yeet the latest revision into place no matter what it is, there are ways to automate that still, such as berberman/nvfetcher, or Mic92/nix-update.

Yes, however one downside is that, afaik, the inputs are downloaded eagerly, not lazily. Alternatively there are things like nix-update and nvfetcher.

The fetcher for this is https://github.com/berberman/nvfetcher. And if you want to simply map all the sources to extension packes, you could use http://github.com/divnix/devos-ext-lib and follow the readme. This is how I do it.

It has support for passthru so you can expose description, homepage and other meta attributes. You (currently) can't directly pass a attribute set to the nix source because nvfetcher is using string interpolation to generate it, so only string is allowed. There is a tracking issue for this: github.com/berberman/nvfetcher/issues/40. For now, you can use mapAttrs sources (sources = import ./_sources/generated.nix { inherit (final) fetchurl fetchgit fetchFromGitHub; }) to generate the appropriate meta from passthru.
