A comprehensive community guide for setting up and learning NixOS, the immutable Linux distribution with declarative configuration. It covers the Nix Expression Language, desktop setup, development environments, gaming, and self-hosting for both new and advanced users.

Use cases

  • learn nixos from scratch
  • set up a nixos desktop with essential apps
  • understand the nix expression language
  • configure nix flakes and home-manager
  • run development environments with nix-shell
  • self-host services on nixos
  • get gaming working on nixos with steam and lutris

When to choose

  • you are new to NixOS and want a curated starting point
  • you want a single reference covering desktop, dev tools, and gaming setup
  • you want links to tutorials, modules, and community resources

When to avoid

  • you need official, canonical NixOS documentation
  • you want runnable configuration code rather than curated links
  • you need a tool or library rather than a written guide
