How I run my servers
I have a similar setup for my personal and project websites. Some similarities and differences:
* I use Linode VMs ($5/month).
* I too use Debian GNU/Linux.
* The initial configuration of the VM is coded as a shell script: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/main/linode.sh
* Project-specific or service-specific configuration is coded as individual Makefiles. This takes care of creatng An example: https://github.com/susam/susam.net/blob/main/Makefile
* The software is written in Common Lisp. In case of a personal website or blog, a static website is generated by a Common Lisp program. In case of an online service or web application, the service is written as a Common Lisp program that uses Hunchentoot to process HTTP requests and return HTTP responses.
* I use Nginx too. Nginx serves the static files as well as functions as a reverse proxy when there are backend services involved. Indeed TLS termination is an important benefit it offers. Other benefits include rate limiting requests, configuring an allowlist for HTTP headers to protect the backend service, etc.

My Favorite Commandline Oneliners
I have something similar but a little more elaborate at my ~/bin to ensure that there isn't a severe loss of quality during the conversion: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/e434b7c/bin/xmp3

Using GNU Stow to manage your dotfiles (2012)
I follow a similar but handcrafted approach. I have a dotfiles repo with a setup script that automates the creation or deletion of all the symbolic links: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/master/setup
So what I do on any new system is just:
git clone https://github.com/susam/dotfiles.git

How do I actually update home-manager?
$ home-manager --version 23.05 $ nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-23.11.tar.gz home-manager $ nix-channel --update $ nix-shell '' -A install [...] All done! The home-manager tool should now be installed and you can edit /home/MY-USERNAME/.config/home-manager/home.nix to configure Home Manager. Run 'man home-configuration.nix' to see all available options. $ home-manager --version 23.05

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

An Overview of Nix in Practice
> Channels are, AFAIU, a reference to some point-in-time/commit/version of nixpkgs
It's not specifically nixpkgs, but any Nix code generally.
Per the Nix manual[0]:
> Channels are a mechanism for referencing remote Nix expressions and conveniently retrieving their latest version.
e.g. home-manager's suggested channel is just the github tarball for the relevant branch[1]:
nix-channel --add https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager

Need help on home manager neovim config
I'm using flakes and home manager and not really sure how to go about managing my neovim configuration. I've read through some other posts, github issues, and various articles trying to suss out a good way to do this. Reading through other people's configs and posts was somewhat helpful but there is a lot going on I don't understand and everyone's examples I've seen vary wildly.

I want to like NixOS but... I can't and I need some help
I can't answer all your questions, but home-manager does have a dconf module that would probably be better to use than that external tool. Everything inside the options block are the things you can pass to the dconf module.
What are some alternatives?
