If this finds another (ideally patient and maybe queer??) NixOS user, could I please do a like live coding session or something with you? I just have all these bits of knowledge that feel very scattered and I want to ask some questions to connect them, but want the “explain like I’m 5” response. Just a no stupid questions environment would be awesome. Nix feels so slick when it works, but growing the complexity of my system has run me into the roadblocks.

@Arkhive any particular domain you want to understand / thing to achieve?

@FlorentBecker I started with migrating my desktop from Arch+Hyprland to NixOS+Niri. I did all that with the “default config” style, no flakes, no home manager. As far as I can tell I understand what those two things do, and why I want them, but every time I have tried to install them and migrate my config I just run astray somewhere.

Longer term (sooner than later ideally) I want to also configure a NAS that runs services on my home network, but I testing on a different device.
