Do as you will.
I keep my system profile as minimal as I can.
And my user profile consists of several groups of pkgs.
I have them in my ~/.nixpkgs/config [1].
Firstly I just install via `nix-env -i`, if I like the pkgs and I need it
I'm writing it into my [1] to one of the groups ("env").[1] https://github.com/jagajaga/my_configs/blob/master/.nixpkgs/common.nix (~/.nixpkgs/config is linked to this file). 2015-04-24 19:23 GMT+03:00 Amy de Buitléir <[email protected]>: > NixOS noob here.
