  It is a way to switch into a different configs. Just like when you switch to a new set of packages when you update your channels (or flake) and you get activated with the new versions. Same thing with specializations, just you can choose to have a different set of packages activated and enabled in each different specialization. Like having multiple different configs in one.

    Oh, like docker compose --profile (loosely). Is that useful here? I'd think they would just make a flake/module that adds Flipper stuff and include that to the initial config.
