Basics of using the Nix home manager in a way that makes sense to me and probably just me true

The Home manager

The Nix home manager is a way to work with Nix in a declarative environment to manage your dotfiles and user environment packages. This can be used on any system running the Nix packagemanager. Personally, I've started to dabble around with a it a bit after installing the Nix packagemanager in my Alpine installation. Since I've already dabbled with Nix on a few systems through NixOS, I already knew the basics of imperatively managing packages (or derivations) with the Nix packagemanager.
