I am thinking about switching to #NixOS from EndeavourOS (Arch). Where should I I start?

Where can I read about best practices?

I read that flakes aren’t actually that important on a laptop but I should use home-manager.

Can I also use different WMs/DEs with home-manager?

I recommend just going for it! Everyone starts Nixos with a single configuration file and you should too. While the learning curve is steep, the costs of recovering from tinkering-gone-wrong are almost zero!

After my #endeavouros laptop refused to boot, I'm finally ready for #nixos

It did help to get familiar with the Nix package manager and home-manager without leaving Arch first.
