NixOS 21.05 Released
I was able to make the switch over cold turkey after ~9 years of ArchLinux.
By sheer happenstance, I blogged earlier this week about one particular killer feature that doesn't get enough air time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27344677
My not-flake-yet configuration can be found at https://github.com/rraval/nix

Nix solves the package manager ejection problem
> How do NixOS users typically manage software that is not a Nix package
By writing a Nix package for it (I don't mean for this to sound flippant, tone is a bit hard to convey over text).
For example I have this alpha quality rust binary that I'm developing but I also want a stable version installed at the OS level. I write a Nix package and simply compose it into my overall NixOS configuration alongside the more official Nixpkgs: https://github.com/rraval/nix/blob/master/git-nomad.nix
> like a source code tarball where you would traditionally run configure && make && make install?
Nix has a bunch of defaults that make a conventional package like this straightforward.
Here's a package for a vanilla C binary + library that does the `autoreconf && ./configure && make && make install` dance: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/secu...
It's almost a little misleading because the actual steps are largely inherited from the defaults, you can read more about `stdenv.mkDerivation` here: https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/fundamentals-of-stdenv.ht...

What does the minimal version of NixOS consist of?
I somewhere saw this project being mentioned: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt

Avoiding Complexity with Systemd
That's nice and it showcases how Nix can create a declarative process management atop a script-based imperative manager. How is your experience with it? Also note that there's https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt, a manager agnostic processes management framework supporting s6 among others, but your way seems a bit more straightforward.

is it possible to use nix on a non-systemd distro like void or artix?
There's a project still being developed: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt my understanding is that if home-manager would use it (I don't know if there is even plan to do that, it's not the same author), it would be able to work without needing systemd.
