You can get pretty far with copy-pasting. If you want to try it out, you should first realize that there's always 10+ different ways to do the same thing. Stick with what works and with what seems the most intuitive to you.
Personally, I suggest going straight for a flake-based setup. Flakes are somehow still labeled experimental, but they're actually mature and broadly adopted.
After trying out a few distros over the last 20 years or so (~~open~~SUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora and Silverblue were the ones I actively used for a stretch of time on desktop, Debian and CentOS on server), I also landed on NixOS.
Who knows what the future brings, but things feel more settled to me than they ever have. Maybe that's because there's a (declarative) solution for every custom setup, it's just a function of time and profiency in Nix. Or maybe it's because I invested quite a bit of work into a trivially reproducible setup for most of my machines and workflows (all in one glorious version-controlled flake), that the sunk costs are too high to switch elsewhere.
I'm still willing to experiment with DEs/WMs, currently running Gnome on my main and Sway on weaker machines. Hyprland is a bit out there for my taste, but I'm really looking forward to giving Cosmic DE a try once it's ready.
Yeah with its flags / regex / python support UltiSnips is really the gold standard of a snippet engine. In many other environments "snippets" really just means "substitute one string for another", where UltiSnips is so much more!
I use (neo)vim with UltiSnips for coding, text editing and writing e-mails, and it works great! It's super customizable.
I'm looking forward to try it myself... and also wondering if I'll ever be able to read it as b-cache-fs rather than bca-chefs.

I would generally agree, but 1) there may well be dead wood just under the grass and 2) these conditions may explain the atypical stem. Never fully trust ID by pic and opinions on the internet obviously but this looks very much like Pleurotus ostreatus to me. (Also because there aren't many alternative candidates in my opinion.)
Nice find! Hard to tell from this picture how old it is, but I would encourage you to taste it! When I tried one it had great texture, and it's a bit sour (which personally I liked), but very strange for a mushroom.
Hypholoma lateritium
Do you mean Hypholoma capnoides? H. lateritium tastes bitter (and is poisonous) as well I'm pretty sure.
Cool find! If you want to ID, you could check for varieties of Hygrocybe (waxcap). There very rare in my region.
Agreed! Fistulina hepatica (beefstak fungus) looks pretty unique, I would be very surprised if this turned out to be anything else.
