The problem I have is that I use coreutils-full in systemPackages. But most of my flakes override this with coreutils because it's a common dependency and it's added to PATH before /run/current-system/sw/bin.

| mr-qubo | So in simpler words, I don't want dependencies in my PATH. | 17:27:12 |

| zoopli | Hi, I have a newbie question. I've been going along with some tutorials on how to switch to flakes for my nixos system. And in the flake the configuration.nix is imported as module.
Is it possible to define your system config entirely in the flake.nix without needing a configuration.nix at all? | 17:38:07 |

Is it possible to define your system config entirely in the flake.nix without needing a configuration.nix at all? You can just replace ./configuration.nix in modules array with the contents of configuration.nix file, probably wrapped in parentheses to make syntax work. | 17:42:27 |
| mr-qubo | But why would you want to do this? | 17:43:10 |
| zoopli | Just wanted to know if it's possible. I'll try it out. I'd rather tweak one file for my sys config than two files. Maybe I'll split it out again if it gets bigger. | 17:47:15 |

Seems like I'm not using flakes intended way in the first place and I should use something like https://github.com/numtide/devshell. can confirm devshell is good; the only downside imho is that it's real close to the devShell flake schema key name /: | 16:34:49 |

Why builtins.getFlake "nixpkgs" requires --impure, but e.g. nix shell 'nixpkgs#hello' works without --impure? Seems like I'm missing some understanding. The first one is probably evaluated in a different flake and thus "breaks" the expectation of being pure, while the second one is impure on its own as you rarely have a pure shell env (and the concrete result of nixpkgs depends on your local flake registry) | 22:32:40 |
