Nix noob question
You can also just install flakes doing nix profile install . I wrote a tool to make it a bit easier, npt but it's completely optional. Once you install the packages with nix profile. Then in your repos you can use a flake with a devShell and run nix develop. Check https://flake.parts to write your flakes.

Nix journey part 2: replacing apt and brew
Me too! That's why I wrote the small wrapper on nix to install imperatively, the npt, which gets the job done, though an official alternative would be better. I understand nix side, but it's hard to break old habits, and not only that, it would be ideal if I can install nix at my parents, and let them use a simple tool with nix underneath. This means for me, focusing only on nix.

Dotfiles Management
I've just (literally a few hours ago) started a tool trying to follow those principles.

Nix Home Manager Option Search
Many command line programs keep their configurations somewhere under $HOME. These are often called "dotfiles".
If you ever use more than one machine, likely you'll want the same configuration available on all those machines.. so you'll want some way to copy them to a new machine.
Some dotfile managers are quite simple, like dotbot. https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot
Home Manager from the Nix community is a bit more sophisticated. It allows for writing configurations in the Nix language, which is nice if you know/like Nix. (Nix is a powerful/expressive package manager. Nix is to apt-get what vim is to notepad).

Dotfiles Management
Dotbot (https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot) has worked extremely well for me. It’s simple to setup, has minimal dependencies, and it is also easy to run arbitrary commands if I want to get tricky with things. I would highly recommend it.
