    I’m still a Linux noob all things considered, and I’ve been using NixOS for six months or more.

    It is HARD, but I see the true value of it. I will never need to reinstall Linux because I broke it, that’s simply impossible.

    If I ever need to migrate my system, it’s all backed up to github. With a single

    Bash update.sh
    

    every single .config file backed up, system upgraded, all packages updated.

    I just love Nix, it’s the perfect OS for me.

    Now I just need to learn how to use flakes…

    Sidebar: I’ve never asked before, but maybe someone can help me out. If I install a flake of an application, am I supposed to add it to the existing flake, or can I modulate flakes?

    I’ve noticed when installing the nixvim flake it generates a new flake and it runs when I issue the

    nix run ~/.dotfiles/nixvim/flake.nix
    

    command, but I don’t want to have to run that command every time. I feel like making a fish abbreviation isn’t the correct way of doing this.
