Using NixOS means when I had the time to customize I wrote it all declaratively, so now that I’ve got obligations it all stays configured and reproducible. No need to swap lol
You can especially since flakes are still experimental technically, but I really like being able to track the lockfile in git, have a bunch of systems/homes/packages/overlays all stored together, and mixing&matching various inputs (e.g. very easily handle multiple versions of nixpkgs in the same config)
The modularity, if built properly, is pretty nice. I can just tell my friend to run a console command aimed at my flake repo and boom they have my exact mpv package and configuration with customized settings; and if they like it they can just copy one or two files and make it their own.

so i guess everybody is doing if via flakes now but can’t we just continue with the configuration.nix and home.nix split?
