Thinking about doing distro hop after half a year any recommendations?
For Nix, consider checking out the resources found under the caption "Learning" on the Awesome Nix Github page. Though, personally, I really enjoyed Zero to Nix.
- I have new versions for ruby-nix and bundix!

More myths about this "new fangled" Linux desktop
Yeah nix/guix is a whole nother universe and I'm not familiar with it, there's a ton of good resources out there though: https://github.com/nix-community/awesome-nix

Tools & Resources for NixOS
Maybe this should be added to awesome-nix.

Big list of Flakes tutorials
Possibly something like this should be added to https://github.com/nix-community/awesome-nix (I don't see a Flakes section on there)
-
What's your daily driver?
Learn NixOS and Awesome Nix are probably good starting points.
-
Books/Videos?
I would also look at https://github.com/nix-community/awesome-nix

Installing chatgpt-wrapper
Another way if the above doesn't work is to use mach-nix:https://github.com/DavHau/mach-nix

How to install pip3
For python, I can highly recommend mach-nix. Makes it really easy to also keep a requirements.txt to stay compatible with non-nix-users.
-
Updated ESP-IDF and MicroPython expressions
The ESP32 toolchain is quite cumbersome to install - even under NixOS. The wiki tells you to create a shell.nix that creates a python virtual env at the first execution. I used DavHau's mach-nix to create esp-idf.nix and subsequently micropython-esp32.nix.

Share your Data Science stack in Nixpkgs
mach-nix and friends are pretty good, but I've found that the expectations of all the commonly-used data science stuff is pretty antithetical to the Nix Way. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but last I tried, Hydra wasn't building CUDA (since it's non-free), so I had to compile that and e.g. TensorFlow and PyTorch. Very painful, even on a beefy system.

Help with installing python packages.
I don't do much Python, but usually everything works just fine with mach-nix. I would try something like this: ``` { pkgs ? import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/archive/nixpkgs-unstable.tar.gz") { } }:

Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
There are some sifferent/new tools for adding your own Python packages these days. It's still not truly solved, but one of these new package generation tools might serve your better:
poetry2nix: https://github.com/nix-community/poetry2nix
dream2nix: https://nix-community.github.io/dream2nix/guides/getting-sta...
mach-nix: https://github.com/DavHau/mach-nix
pip2nix: https://github.com/nix-community/pip2nix
pynixify: https://github.com/cript0nauta/pynixify
The tools available to you at the time (pypi2nix and maybe python2nix, if it was a long time ago) have been abandoned in favor of the newer tools, I think chiefly poetry2nix but I'm not sure.
There's still the Nixpkgs buildPythonPackage stuff, I think, if your goal is to upstream a lib into Nixpkgs. But if you just want to build your own Python applications and vendorize the deps (e.g., for work), you might try one of the tools above, which weren't available 3+ years ago. Maybe Nixy Python users and developers can reply with some of their experiences using those tools :)

How shall I install a Python library/module?
Have a look at mach-nix which is a small utility library for nix to build Python packages declaratively.
