Nix does a bunch of fancy linking. The idea is that you will create your configurations from inside the nix language. Which will then be installed and setup according to the standard nix process. You can also install packages then build the configuration files as your normally would. Things like /etc directories are generated but not touched after that. I’m no expert though so I could be wrong.
However after distro hopping for like 4 years I landed on nix hand haven’t looked at anything else in 2 years. Truly the future

I too hope on my distros :D
And I no longer! :D nix it’s pretty sweet VERY steep learning curve though. It helps if you really understand regular Linux first.
