    I need some explainations, I can't find specific resources to make me clearly understand about nixos.I know this is just like immutable Linux distro with an amazing pkg manager.I installed nixos once when I didn't know much or learn much about nixos.I installed with calamaris installer(sry if I misspelled) with kde.Now I know alot about basics of nix but need some facts there. Now I'm using arch again. I'll install if II want to use Bspwm or qtile but I don't want displaye manager.Can I use just startx to start my wms?and How to figure things like alacritry ,neofetch,etc,etc.Like normal ways in .config folder?Can I use ext4?Coz I found this GitHub page he said mkfs.ext4 ,nixos uses btrfs? so, see this and pls answer me. https://github.com/Ruixi-rebirth/flakes
