Beginner support

So today i installed NixOS after seeing all its hype. I have the Gnome version. I have nvidia optimus(nvidia+intel) graphics card.

I want to know the first things i need to do after installing NixOS, and any help regarding nvidia setup will also be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Please use the search function on this forum and search for ā€œbeginnerā€ or ā€œget startedā€.

You can also find a lot of useful pointers from this post: Revamped Learning section of Awesome Nix

Thanks a lot, mate. Will check it out

I would suggest getting familiar with functional programming languages first. (e.g Haskell) , bearing in mind that Nix is described as ā€˜Json with functionsā€™.

I recommend these sites.

Personally I have not found found any videos particularly helpful for getting up and running

The nvidia topic is quite well covered on the topic, even for optimus setup.
