so i just followed a youtube video to do some inital setup with gnome. I may be oversimplifying it but isnt it just

adding package u want to install in environment.systempackages

then u do nix flake update; nixos-rebuild switch. This is kinda like debians apt upgrade and update but with more latest software and u can reproduce it anywhere (app wise)?

will it get more complex say if i wanna manage different DE (wanna experiment with hyprland. great thing is i can always rollback if i dont like it!)

So for reproducing in other devices i can just git clone the necessary files and do nixos-rebuild switch --impure --flake .

for some context i just followed this youtube video as my starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5RK3oNRiNY
