So after being a long-time Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/etc user, I finally decided to give NixOS a try after the recent RHEL news.

And BOY and I blown away. You can do so much more than I thought possible with automation on NixOS. It’s incredible!

Since I"m so new, I do have a question for you all: What’s your go-to resource for learning Nix/NixOS?

Thanks!

Welcome! I hope you enjoy NixOS =)

Ah yes, the eternal question, where to learn. I’ll just link you to a comment I wrote a couple days ago: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/254645

Thank you! A similar question: Should I just go straight to learning Flakes?
I’m going to pour over your configs, thanks for the links!

I think that despite the fact that they’re not officially stable, flakes are not going away. So yes it does make sense to learn flakes, but there’s nothing wrong with learning it along the classic way, they have a lot in common.
