About the Guides category

Post best practices, guides, and tutorials here.

Is there a clear learning path somewhere? Maybe that could also be pinned here?

The Nix documentation team is working on it (see our recent meeting minutes) but there is not something we can present yet. https://nix.dev is the place where it’s happening, but the ownership transfer to the NixOS Foundation is not complete yet, therefore we can’t make it official by putting a Nix logo on it yet.

Ping me if you have any questions or feedback. We always need fresh eyes on what’s going on, and ideally people who get involved and help with fixing things. There is still a lot to do.

I’ll try that out.

Is this also good as introductory documentation? Nix Pills | Nix & NixOS

Why is it called Pills?

The Pills are a low-level explanation of how Nixpkgs works, I don’t think it is suitable as introductory material for using Nix or Nixpkgs.

I’m going to read the Pills anyway I guess because I don’t know what else to read.
