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
-
Why don't KDE plasma group all .config files in a single directory?
Plasma-manager solves both backup and sharing.

KDE Plasma 6: “Better defaults”
A dude wrote a tool to configure KDE with Nix. https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager Sadly it's a bit iffy, and settings aren't applied until you relog and other things.

New user switching to NixOS
Normally yes with the help of home-manager, but you cannot manage your Plasma configuration declaratively, yet. I think there is an effort for configuring Plasma here, but it is not complete yet and did not get any updates since September so maybe it is abandoned or paused for now? If you are fine with using Gnome, there is a dconf module in home-manager so you can also make your desktop environment reproducible. There is also xfconf module for configuring XFCE if you prefer that but I did not use it so I don't know if it is as good as dconf.

Using KDE with nixos
however, there is the Plasma Manager which should give you similar or even the same experience as GNOME

Rice NixOS?
Although I still have to look into plasma-manager
-
My wife crocheted a NixOS tux for my obsession.
As for declarative usage for KDE or Firefox, while I haven't done it personally yet, it is possible by adding extra modules. Home-Manager has config options for Firefox and Plasma Manager, an home-manager module for KDE.

Pretend you're the KDE¹ dictator². What would you do if you were to take the direction of the whole project in your own hands?
Think I'm going to start using plasma manager and maybe try to contribute.

gnome-manager v0.0.1: let's build config abstractions for GNOME
I've been using plasma manager for kde, it has a command to dump the current configuration to a nix file which is convenient https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager
-
Customizing KDE from the command line?
On NixOS (probably irrelevant for you, but may as well mention it for others) I've been using plasma-manager.

Going declarative on macOS with Nix and Nix-Darwin
I’ve been using Nix directly on MacOS with minimal issues for a few years now. Works great.
I hate using docker on Mac and have since replaced it with flakes and devenv.

Flakes aren't real and cannot hurt you: using Nix flakes the non-flake way
I tried to make Nix as easy to adopt as possible by creating Nix commands and a step by step guide: https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config
I love Nix. I use it every day to manage multiple local dev environments. And I use devenv instead of docker for sharing project-specific environments with others.

2024-01-01 Emacs News
Felt (still am, actually) this problem too. Started with the same approach (Vanilla Emacs) a few years back in order to really learn the ins-and-outs after giving DOOM and others a shot and feeling like I didn't have the faintest what was really going on with all the magic. I somehow did end up falling in love with Emacs again[^1].
Won't lie... there was a fair amount of cursing involved and, despite the love, I wouldn't recommend many to venture down this road[^2].
Now I have gone the literate config way in my dotfiles https://github.com/vidbina/dotfiles/tree/main/emacs and I jump between Cursor (vscode-based), Neovim and Emacs for different tasks on a daily. I also found dustinlyons/nixos-config (https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config/blob/main/module...) just a few days ago and figured that could be a fun resource when you're building yours up.
Take it as a hobby. There are a bunch of nice things that I picked up from Emacs (a. literate configs, b. comfort around working with LISPs, c. bigger appreciation for parts of the GNU ecosystem, d. more in-depth understanding of how my editor works which helps me debug issues in Neovim or vscode when I see them) but I still think that I'm cursed by wanting to go down this road so badly. Wish I could just vscode my way through live and build dope stuff, unencumbered.
1: Used Emacs heavily in college over 12 years ago when I would boot the Windows + Novell groupware school computers into my own Ubuntu config with my Emacs and embedded dev toolchain from my pendrive.
2: The single-threaded-ness and related ocassional unresponsiveness/hangups still grind my gears.

Nix Survival Mode: macOS upgrades won't break Nix anymore
What do I need to do to switch from an official Nix install to using nix-installer on macOS? Just uninstall the current nix and install using nix-installer?
My config is loosely based off https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config if this matters. Using nix-darwin.

Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?
My configuration uses Nix.

Ask HN: Could you show your personal blog here?
Not my personal notes, but how I do my writing and organize my thoughts. This is my Nix configuration that powers my Macbook, Linux PC, and home lab server. Emacs + org-roam to capture everything. https://github.com/dustinlyons/nixos-config
