Nix is git for packages, change my mind.
I have used nix-env as another package manager (on Linux mint) because it has so many packages, but I decided last night to bite the bullet and install home-manager. After I set up my home.nix I realized what I mostly wanted was a list of the packages I've installed, and home manager delivers. Now it's a question of whether or not I want to move all my dotfiles into home.nix -

You could use Nix as a drop-in replacement for Flatpak by using nix-env without having to interface with any of the more advanced stuff.
