flake-parts TODO

• Move logic for generating system/home configs to module (most important, reason i wanted to use flake-parts)
  • Move common default args from the awful wrapper function to dedicated options:
    • default module imports
    • "common" module
      • currently defines stateVersion, nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree, a few others
    • make default module path configurable, but still default to ./hosts/${hostname}/configuration.nix
    • make "entrypoint" (./system, ./home/standalone.nix, etc) configurable
    • make nixfiles home manager initialization a configurable option
    • specialArgs (i want to deprecate this but one thing at a time)
    • define system "types" and generate all of them internally using lazy eval. export a specific one to the flake outputs.
      • generate as something like nixfiles.hosts.<name>.outputs
      • flake.nixosConfigurations.<name> is set from nixfiles.hosts.<name>.output
      • default chosen by option like nixfiles.hosts.<name>.type
      • types:
        • normal
        • WSL
        • ISO image
  • define deploy-rs outputs in same section as hosts
  • make common, central interface for configuring overlays to be consumed by various parts of flake, move hard-coded overlays out of common module
    • literally just a list, maybe process it using lib.composeManyExtensions
• some top-level config is okay (e.g., defining hosts using nixfiles options). hide away all of the internal logic into imported modules.
• move random functions into nixfiles lib
• move top-level universal configs (username, mobileTimeZone) into option (honestly, this alone makes flake-parts worth it)
