Yep. To change desktop environments, just change:

services.xserver.gnome.enable = true;

to

services.xserver.plasma5.enable = true;

This is cool because it gets rid of all the packages when you switch. There is nothing left of Gnome when you switch to KDE.

It's really nice. When you setup a new system, you don't have to spend hours changing settings, configs, and installing packages. With NixOS, just copy the config file from your old system and then run nixos-rebuild.

I really wish the default template switches to flakes soon. Using flakes is a must for the best experience, and converting the default config is at best a hassle and for newbies a huge mountain to cross.
