Currently as it stands we can't do anything except load normal modules.
If we wanted to our own derivations in pkgs or standalone overlays it starts complaining about the lack of perSystem.

Proposed solution, would be to remove the automatic import of all .nix files inside ./. that we are currently using and moving to a proper structure with system, packages, configurations, home all cleanly separated and individually referred to.

#21 fixes a few issues that I had with the flake structure.

What's missing at this point are:

Recursive package attrsets so that we don't have to individually list all packages.
automatically ingesting every nixosConfigurations and homeConfigurations into a single module so that we can instead focus on options rather than making sure that every single configurations are correct.
testing overlays (there is already a nixpkgs-xr overlay which we can use for that)
concatenate each .nix in the root into parts.nix

For now this stays open. but the priority is now low and can be pushed to later.
