The configuration of the Nix Packages collection. (For
details, see the Nixpkgs documentation.) It allows you to set
package configuration options, and to override packages
globally through the <varname>packageOverrides</varname>
option. The latter is a function that takes as an argument
the <emphasis>original</emphasis> Nixpkgs, and must evaluate
to a set of new or overridden packages.

Specifies the Nix platform type for which NixOS should be built.
If unset, it defaults to the platform type of your host system
(<literal>${builtins.currentSystem}</literal>).
Specifying this option is useful when doing distributed
multi-platform deployment, or when building virtual machines.
