     @itsfoss Setting up flakes is also very useful. But ye, maybe it's not recommended for beginners. But it makes maintaining configs so much easier.

     @daniel When you use the nix-env, it can be executed more like a simple package manager, whereas if you use the config, you have to make changes in the config file.

     As this series was targeted to beginners, I recommended using the nix-env but if you're an advanced user, sure you can use it as per your liking

     @itsfoss Any reason why you recommended nix-env? I have deliberately never touched it - either (temporary) shell or config is what I use.
