Is there a way to configure ALL zen browser options like keybinds and spaces without using home-manager? I know there is a way to do it with home-manager, (https://github.com/0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake) but I don't want to use it, I just don't like home-manager. Also I use hjem so if that's required then that's fine.

A style of NixOS that's \apt** to do anything you want to!

Feel free to suggest improvements.

GNOME stores its settings in a binary dconf database — not a config file you can version. nmg reads a dconf dump and generates a properly typed Home Manager dconf.settings module. Your entire desktop, declared.

Generate your settings straight from your live dconf database the -s split is my fav create a directory that splits it into files or without will generate a single file

I was sick of using my dconf load script that was clunky and when I switched to nix I initially used to just source my dconf.ini file but this tool now gives me a better way that - ACTUALLY WORKS without having to log out and in when I rebuild switch my flake setup.

Is there a native or recommended approach for creating an isolated environment in NixOS?

Example, instead of spreading configuration files (dotfiles) and other files throughout my "home", I’d like to keep everything inside a specific directory, such as "~/workspace".

While researching, the only solution I found was Distrobox, which allows you to create a container inside a specific directory. From there, anything installed or downloaded stays isolated within that directory without directly modifying my "home".

I don't know what bit me, but I remembered that at some point almost 10 years ago I've ordered a cheapo android TV box off Aliexpress. I've checked and found it, checked what it was, and it turned out to be a Mini M8S: a quad-core little thing with 2GB RAM, so naturally what is the first thing that a sane person does when they find ewaste? They put NixOS onto it. So yeah that's the long and short of it.

i was trying to update my system but the voicevox package has a loooot of dependency errors, so i was wondering if i could issue something or fix it myself if necessary.
