People drop your nvim .dotfile
Here is a link to my dotfiles managed by nix. My setup is well structured and commented for others. It also has a lot of useful lua libraries and extensions functions that might be useful for others.

Nightfox's newest fox appears: Terafox
The right file tree is nvim-tree. The status line at the top is called a tabline. The tabline I am using is tabby.nvim. I do use tmux as well but this picture does not have a tmux session attached. You can find my configuration for tabby here. For my statusline I use feline and you can find my configuration for feline here. Note that for both tabline and statusline my config generates its own highlight groups based on my current theme. This is done here

You can check out my config here. The relevant sections are reload.lua and bootstrap.lua.

Is there an easy way to see changes made by `nixos-rebuild switch`?
If you are interested in the complete setup you can find my config here: nyx. For the individual action components (as of time of writing):

confused about how to configure user env. To many options
You can use flakes and home-manager. If you want an example of how to structure/setup your configuration you can check mine EdenEast/nyx. My configuration defines my nixos machines, darwin machines, and generic home-manager output (used for things like wsl).

way to increase/ decrease brightness of selected higlight
I also generate highlight groups based on the current colorscheme. I do this for my feline status line and tabby bar. You can see that in my config.

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).

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.

The Curse of NixOS
> And about Home Manager, the reason why I think it's over-hyped is because it provides a declarative approach to something that was... already declarative. Your $XDG_CONFIG directory does not need a leaky Nix abstraction on top of it
I don't really agree, I spent about 30mins to get my home-manager config to support an m1 mac [0]. I don't really want to think how long it would take me to look up all of the homebrew package names, and learn a new package manager. Instead, I just pushed all of the linux-specific items into their own bin, a little more logic, and I was able to get back to a comfortable terminal + git + vim settings.
Also, nix exposes congruent configuration management[1]. The state of my system is an exact reflection of the configuration. With other tools like ansible, vagrant, etc, I would get reconciliation configuration which is close on initial install but configuration drift is an ever-present concern; not to mention that large recipes and playbooks can take a very long time to run. Going the homebrew route would be divergent configuration, it would be very hard for me to get back to a certain configuration. With nix (and by extension home-manager), I can version control the configuration, improve it, roll it back, w/e I want.
> Why would I write my i3 config in Nix??
You do get some type checking, although the iteration time would probably be similar. You could also just do `xsession.windowManager.i3.extraConfig = builtins.readFile ./i3.config;` if you really just wanted to wholesale read in your existing profile.
> I'd rather just use `nix-env` personally.
nix-env is a double edge sword. You can rollback (somewhat, I believe it's just a stack of all changes), which is an improvement. However, nix only retains the "derivation name" to try and management. But for packages like python38, if you try to upgrade it, it will determine that `python-3.11-a3` is the package which is the most up-to-date. I try to discourage using nix-env.
