Thanks, although what I'm looking for is a file that will make a kde plasma desktop with chromium and libreoffice installed Something I can plop on a usb stick and hand to grandma so she can linux up her obsoleted win10 pc without me having to explain what a nixos is.

I understand she probably will not understand the nuance of a immutable filesystem based os but that's fine. I simply do not have the energy to tailor a file for each individual grandma that I have.

There are many flake repos which will have the blobs of stuff that you want, LLMs can help, even the nix wiki is good for stuff like gnome or KDE.

Basically the different automated install paths have a few different DE's and language etc setup, but the rest you find yourself (programs, utils etc)

Home.nix is "home manager" configuration which is like it sounds, the configuration of home which is less drives and sound card and more programs and config.
