NixOS pain points — newbie-gone-intermediate experience report

One thing I’ve repeatedly found frustrating is that when I google for various combinations of things including NixOS, I often find myself in the obsolete repository at GitHub - NixOS/nixos: OBSOLETE (go to NixOS/nixpkgs) - NixOS, a Linux distribution based on the Nix package manager - OBSOLETE (go to NixOS/nixpkgs) . For instance googling “NixOS pulseaudio” currently has this as the second result, and I have often seen things in this repository as the first result. Why not just add a commit to this repository that removes everything except the README?
