NixOS ended up disappointing me a fair bit. I just tried it recently and the KDE support seems very rough so far, or at least I couldn't find good answers to how to configure it and theme it.
kde theming is pretty much independent of your distro tho?
One of the main draw of NixOs is the reproducibility of builds, meaning that redoing the build will provide the exact same output each time, so Nix encourages you to make configuration changes through the package manager. I've mostly overcome my theming woes with home-manager now, but this comment was speaking to a little wrinkle I had when I was trying to learn and take advantage of the OS's features as best I could.
Home manager is the way to do it though.
The main configuration handles configuration of the system, home manager project was created to bring similar functionality for the user home directory. That's where the name comes from.
Home manager also works great when using Nix on other systems to manage for files, for example on OS X.
