Centralized/standardised/replicateable config for the entire OS and all apps is cool n all, but 10,000 lines in a single config file seems kinda ass. Does Nix let you import chunks of your config from separate files?
Of course they do, otherwise it would be exactly how you would expect it to be. It's split across 178 .nix files, though a chunk of them are server configs. I need them on my desktop because I rebuild my servers from my desktop.
Ah ok, the screenshots were JUST the wrong size on my foldy phone, big enough to not bother zooming in, too small to read the text.
