if you're just learning nix expressions, check out the playground using `evaluate``.
./scripts/evaluate playground
modify playground files to learn parts of the expression language.
nix-env -q - list everything installed via nix-env. (this is the old way)
nix profile list - list everything installed via nix profile. (command style using profiles)
nix-shell -p home-manager - run a shell with home-manager
nix store gc - garbage collect the system.
