How to not include nano?

Help
1

Coming here from Artix Linux I noticed that NixOS can be somehow bloated and I want to change that.

OF course I want to start with not including nano, after I have already included nvim. Does anyone know how to do that?
I know about (this)[nixos/nano: add enable, package option, do not create /etc/nanorc by … by SuperSandro2000 · Pull Request #244324 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub], but it doesn’t help me honestly.

BTW, wouldn’t it be better to use plain old vi instead of nano?

The pull request you mentioned is already in NixOS 23.11, according to the changelog. So try programs.nano.enable = false in your configuration.nix.
