environment.defaultPackages

Set of default packages that aren't strictly necessary for a running system, entries can be removed for a more minimal NixOS installation.

Like with systemPackages, packages are installed to /run/current-system/sw. They are automatically available to all users, and are automatically updated every time you rebuild the system configuration.
