Description

It seems flake-parts is designed more cohesive and minimalistic.
It also seems to have less imports (when following the import chain. The only import is a fork of nixpkgs/lib.

Also i don't need to relearn another pattern it's copies the flake pattern and makes it available at multiple points.
When you use perSystem you get self' and input' with system preselected.

I am not that experienced yet, but getting into flake-parts seemed more intuitive.
(The documentation is a bit lacking)

Please no fights. Just close and block it if it comes to that.

Greetings to all the awesome people :3 :)
