> My mental model about Nix is that it resembles make, but for the whole dependency graph.

I just started learning about nix a few days ago. I'm still a little bit confused and flakes are an abstraction, i didn't tackle so far.

My mental model is, that it resembles sth. like virtual environments for python or nvm for node.js installations. At least that's what i want to use it for.
