Tried NixOS !

So I tried nixos and I love how things work, I am glad that it exists. Will learn about Flakes today. Any recommended resource to learn it? :)

Congrats! It took me three months to get everything running the way I wanted. Now I run a bunch of machines off of a single flake, managing family and friend's machines too. Next is moving my server over to nixos. Read through the wiki and site, get on the nixos discord or matrix site, ask questions, use the discourse, and when you feel confident nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#!

The nix wiki, packages an options pages are all I need most of the time.

Documentation isn't stellar IMHO: I end up reading the nixpkgs sources most often than not (it probably depends on what you are doing, though)

@zwerdlds @canute How about nixos-option, lib.mkoption ?
