You can: choose which packages to install from stable and which from unstable add packages from repos that have flake.nix in them correctly match nix and home-manager versions, and always update them at the same time allow-unfree without nixpkgs conf, so 1 less directory required in .config (if they accepted the “experimental” features it’d be down to 1) Here’s an example: flake.nix { description = "home flake"; inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master"; home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; nixpkgs-stable.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11"; # nixgl.url = "github:guibou/nixGL"; }; outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nixpkgs-stable, home-manager, # nixgl, ... }@inputs: let system = "x86_64-linux"; pkgs = import nixpkgs { system = system; config = { allowUnfree = true; }; }; pkgsStable = import nixpkgs-stable { system = system; config = { allowUnfree = true; }; }; in { homeConfigurations = { shareni = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration { inherit pkgs; modules = [ ./home.nix ]; extraSpecialArgs = { inherit inputs; inherit system; kmonad = pkgsStable.kmonad; }; }; }; }; }
