Hello, everyone! I’m a long time Linux user who has warily stared at NixOS from the safe distance one might give to wild animals on a safari for quite some time now… And I finally decided, “fuck it, I’m gonna poke it with a stick.”

I absolutely adore this system, even as strange a paradigm as it is coming from a decade of “traditional” management systems. I haven’t been this excited about a Linux distro since… Well, ever really. Maybe OpenSUSE Tumbleweed? I can’t recall.

Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and preach to the choir for a second, so to speak. As someone totally new to this paradigm of system management, what are your #1 must read/watch resources you would recommend? I’ve perused through the NixOS Learn website over the last couple of days, and I’m itching for more. I can’t wait to see what all this system is capable of!

    I recommend adding a https://wiki.nixos.org/ search engine to your browser. Maybe it’s not Arch Wiki, but it’s getting better. Oftentimes I cannot find how to do something on NixOS anywhere but on the wiki
