          Inputs:

          - `modulesLocation` (path): A default location for modules that aren't passed by path, used for error messages.

          Legacy inputs:

          - `system`: Legacy alias for `nixpkgs.hostPlatform`, but this is already set in the generated `hardware-configuration.nix`, included by `configuration.nix`.
          - `pkgs`: Legacy alias for `nixpkgs.pkgs`; use `nixpkgs.pkgs` and `nixosModules.readOnlyPkgs` instead.

      /**
        A nested structure of [packages](https://nix.dev/manual/nix/latest/glossary#package-attribute-set) and other values.

        The "legacy" in `legacyPackages` doesn't imply that the packages exposed
        through this attribute are "legacy" packages. Instead, `legacyPackages`
        is used here as a substitute attribute name for `packages`. The problem
        with `packages` is that it makes operations like `nix flake show
        nixpkgs` unusably slow due to the sheer number of packages the Nix CLI
        needs to evaluate. But when the Nix CLI sees a `legacyPackages`
        attribute it displays `omitted` instead of evaluating all packages,
        which keeps `nix flake show` on Nixpkgs reasonably fast, though less
        information rich.

        The reason why finding the tree structure of `legacyPackages` is slow,
        is that for each attribute in the tree, it is necessary to check whether
        the attribute value is a package or a package set that needs further
        evaluation. Evaluating the attribute value tends to require a significant
        amount of computation, even considering lazy evaluation.
