Can you explain to me what a flake is? I've read the guides but I didn't really get it.

I'm using home-manager but that's about as complicated as I've gotten.

    Its like a project configuration for a nix lang project (can be stuff from nixos config to nix packages or a collection of nix packages). It configures inputs to that project (other nix flakes, online tar files, git repos) and the version of that input, to stay the same unless you nix flake update.
