I would like to conscientiously use unfree packages, so would rather not default to nixpkgs-unfree for all my packages, but I feel it might make for a more elegant way of plugging holes into my otherwise-free setup than doing so the usual way.
I managed to separatenixpkgs and nixpkgs-unfree for regular packages (e.g. Zoom), but have yet to figure out how to achieve something similar for e.g. Steam, which I had installed using option programs.steam. There, setting programs.steam.package = ... turned out not enough to
ditch Steam-related stuff from nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePredicate.
It would be cool if anyone had further tips on how to explicitly use nixpkgs-unfree for separate stuff including programs.
Describe the solution you'd like
Separately use nixpkgs and nixpkgs-unfree, such that one could explicitly mark unfree stuff as such.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Wholesale switch to nixpkgs-unfree and no longer remain as aware which of my packages are unfree.

You can use both as flake inputs and use them side by side already. What can be tricky is how to get the multiple inputs into your NixOS or home-manager configuration.
