I have been using nix on various systems and especially nixos for quite a while and a github access token has been about the most exciting thing in nix.conf (and enabling flakes obviously😅)

Do you mean configuration.nix?

Probably yes !

I meant the file that decides how everything works

I figured if you sent me that file from your system, I'd get your system exactly how you designed it.

I think it would be great to just load random ones of these from other people to see how they like their system.

And then I could pick and choose those aspects that I like while also trying many, radically different ways of doing things as fast as my system can reboot !

Usually people split up their configs into multiple files for readability/maintainability. But yes, if they sent you their entire configuration repository you would (or at least should) get the same result.
