There ya go: https://github.com/FullOvellas/nix_config/issues/1
I read your issue and you left some great advice. Thank you for taking the time to write something thoughtful! As you probably guessed I really had barely any idea of how the module system worked, but it's nice seeing it's a bit similar to Rust's. I will look into the switch script, which will be convenient, and apply your suggestions, since I basically agree with all of them ๐

Can you explain how you would use this here? Would this make files like this in my config unnecessary?
I wasn't very clear in how I wrote those points, I think you got it backwards.
My points was that OP was using recursiveMerge, and I think that is not a very common or useful pattern to follow, because you evade the module system, for no good reason(?).
I think you are already following the most common pattern out there. If you would like to, there are ways to avoid having a
default.nixfile for each module, but in my opinion that only makes it harder for other people to understand your modules.Okay thanks I was very confused bc I had never seen that as advice anywhere haha
