Hey, does anyone know more great blogs, such as Determinate Systems where there are many helpful and best practice articles about nix? I am looking to have as many resources as possible to learn more and more.
There are a couple of nice blogs around the broader nix ecosystem that I’ve found helpful before, particularly these three I refer to every once in a while:
- Xe’s: https://xeiaso.net/blog
- @Solene 's: Solene'%
- @grahamc 's: https://grahamc.com/
There are definitely more though, the #links category is full of them. There’s also https://nix.dev/, which is the good-nix-documentation-page-to-be - still heavily under development, but what is there is good.
There’s also the nix pills, which while excellent, cover nix more from a “why do we want this” and “this is how it works” than a “this is how you use it” perspective, which is great for a certain audience, but not necessarily newcomers.
Here’s my proposal to add a bunch of non-official links to awesome-nix: Overhaul learning section and add a bunch of things by alper · Pull Request #172 · nix-community/awesome-nix · GitHub
Not all blogs but here’s a few resources:
- community-maintained wiki
- Zero to Nix
- Nix from first principles
- Nix Flakes: first steps
- The Nix Way
- The Nix Hour (YouTube playlist)
- How To Learn Nix
- Nix Tour, an interactive tour
- Nix Tutorial
- community-made documentation of library functions
