Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

What would you change?

    Nix really isn’t very difficult, the way you’d use it for a system configuration it’s more like a config file than programming

    It’s mostly stuff like programs.firefox = { enable = true; };

      I know, I need to spend some time getting familiar with nixpkgs and nixos :P the mix between config file and programming gets me because I expect a config file to have just one way of doing things.

        Afaik generally there is only one way of doing most things

        There are a few choices like whether you just want the package installed and left alone or installed and configured with nix

        (Adding something to the systemPackages list vs using programs.firefox.enable for example)

        You only really get into the really program-ey bits when you start using more advanced features, which you absolutely don’t need to to achieve the same things as a normal package manager

        I’m by no means an expert but feel free to ask if you need any explanations/help
