Setting up OpenSSH is one of the more trivial tasks on any Unix-like operating system. So I'm curious as to why you "love" NixOS despite it sounding like you aren't comfortable with (at least what I consider) a very trivial system setting change?
If you add the following to your configuration.nix and rebuild your system this will setup OpenSSH:
```
services.openssh.enable = true;
```
And if you have enabled the firewall you can make sure that port 22 is allowed with this:
Being unable to enable SSH on NixOS sounds more of like a lack of understanding of how to use NixOS. Again, I'm exceedingly curious as to why you love NixOS but are unable to make such a trivial change to your system? Did you actually install NixOS on your system?
I am a huge fan of people at any stage of expertise loving NixOS and playing with it and I apologize if this question sounds like me being a dick or trying to police your experience -- please continue to love NixOS!

``` networking.firewall.allowedTCPPorts = [ 22 ]; ```
And then just rebuild your system.
