Seriously, the learning curve of nixOS is still... exhausting. Couldn't get it to run with plasma 6 and wayland and the documentation is so incomplete.
That's unfortunately true. There's a community effort to document stuff without going through the lengthy process of getting it approved by overworked maintainers: https://nixlang.wiki
Oh yeah, I've been running nix for a week, it can't even find plz6 after I added unstable and updated. Lost a couple hours to the attempt, rollback was 30 sec tho
