Inspired by NixOS tutorial series, we should also develop a Nix tutorial series starting from absolute basic workflows all the way to flakes and then to flake-parts.

This is the topic to discuss ideas to that end.

I'm thinking our Nix tutorial series should develop it all the way to flake-parts, so:
