  • Unfortunately, nothing is standard. So I would say, across all the configs you looked at, which had a file and module structure that you understood? I’d follow that then.

    My config has a users and hosts dir, to distinguish home manager and nixos configs. Inside each is the list of users and hosts configuration files. In addition, there is a modules folder that holds modules that are common among different users/hosts.















  • As a community, I do think we get hungup on distros. Most of them, as you mentioned, are just different defaults of the same packages.

    But at the maintainer level, I do think theres a lot of work distributions do at making sure the software they choose as defaults are up to date, secure, and work with one another. I dont enounter it often, but relying on maintainers to prevent mismatched depencies ending up in the day-to-day linux user has to be worth something. And every set of defaults needs that level of assurance, I would think. Im not a maintainer, I could be off here.
