Subject: [PATCH] Refactor flake.nix for DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles

- Extract common specialArgs into reusable commonSpecialArgs variable
- Create mkSystem helper function to eliminate duplication
- Extract commonDesktopModules for shared desktop configurations
- Reduce flake.nix from ~90 lines to ~60 lines with better maintainability
- All system configurations (framework, aurora, labrizor, skip01) now use consistent pattern
- Maintain full functionality while dramatically reducing code duplication

Benefits:
- Single source of truth for specialArgs configuration
- Easier to add new systems or modify existing ones
- More maintainable and readable code structure
- Consistent unstable package access across all systems
