The last 3 times I tried to learn nix either 1. It just hasn't worked (excessive linking errors on macos) 2. Barrage of information. Should I use home manager?

The last 3 times I tried to learn nix either
1. It just hasn't worked (excessive linking errors on macos)
2. Barrage of information. Should I use home manager? Use global config? I should be using overlays or flakes? There's too much going on and I've found too much conflicting information online.
I'm not going near nix probably for another 3 years. It has a lot to fix before I can invest time into trying to learn it yet again
