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
