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!
Welcome! I use home-manager and sops-nix. Use flakes, always!
For neovim i use https://github.com/nix-community/nixvim, but i’ve been eyeing https://github.com/NotAShelf/nvf
For content i recommend Vimjoyer and the official NixOS wiki.
Personally i used this as a good base, to see how some things are done. But then i started doing my own thing eventually. https://github.com/Aylur/dotfiles. You can search on github for NIxOS configs to see how things are done, and you have this community to ask questions.
Have fun! If i find more resources i’ll edit this comment.
