As flawed as flakes are, they are significantly better than channels and all the hacks that surround them. Flakes are how I manage my system today and I honestly believe that there is no harm in building tooling around them - we all know that things are subject to change. This is now in my configs: https://codeberg.org/jcdickinson/nix/src/branch/main/flake.n...

Something I've noticed: `nixos/*` and `home-manager/*` are incompatible (home-manager expects 23.11 while nixos is 23.05).

Very cool!

You can get nixpkgs unstable like this:

    nixpkgs-unstable.url = "https://flakehub.com/f/NixOS/nixpkgs/1.*.tar.gz";
