My advice: stick exclusively to flakes and it becomes significantly less complicated. It’s a totally different experience when you have to deal with channels and their global state. There are tons of warnings about how flakes are experimental and this leads people who are new to nix to think that it’s going to be more straightforward to stick to the legacy method. It’s an unfortunate situation, because it’s a reasonable assumption but nothing could be further from the truth.
