Silverblue users: why?
This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

Interested in NixOS, have some questions
Some files in /etc (like saved networks) will still not be managed by NixOS, if you want to have full control over them use Impermanence

Good guides for a non-developer using NixOS?
There is a maintained collection of modules for running this kind of NixOS setup. It's called impermanence.

48hrs with Fedora Silverblue and I'm SOLD. Question: does anyone else use a volatile home ?

First post, here's my home lab and how I use it every day (running Proxmox and NixOS)
I'm also fascinated by the idea of completely decoupling the state from the configuration using https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence. If you can get your system working without leftover state sticking around, and continuously back up the state you do have, you're almost guaranteed to have a fully working environment at all times.

First post, here's what my homelab does running Proxmox and NixOS
Drop Proxmox for vanilla NixOS + kvm. Working towards impermanence to manage persistent state everywhere.

Nix: Taming Unix with Functional Programming
docs nixos: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/
This tooling includes higher-level helpers for language-/environment-specific packaging, like "buildGoModule", "buildRustPackage" and so on, as well as e.g. tooling to run integration tests in a whole cluster of inter-connected linux VMs!
Packages which are submitted to nixpkgs must fulfill certain criteria, such as not using "IFD" (input-from-derivation, to simplify: "letting nix evaluate nix-code which was generated by another deriviation/"nix package".
nixpkgs is alive and well with lots of daily contribution and an everlasting effort to keep Hydra, the nix-specific CI/CD system and public binary caches up to date and responsive. Thanks to all maintainers & contributors!
* flakes are an approach to standardize a way to package nix code outside of nixpkgs but to still keep it re-usable. They are still "experimental" as the details are figured out, but nevertheless used in production. There are some frame-works to keep boilerplate low, like "flake-utils", "flake-parts" and others, as well as e.g. deployment tools like "colmena" and "deploy-rs" and re-usable helpers for system-configuration like e.g. https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence
There's lots of other stuff in the community, things like home-manager, direnv + flakes and devshells changed my workflow fundamentally to the better since I've switched. If you got the time and are still interested, join us on matrix or elsewhere :)

How can you keep a Linux installation tidy and minimal?
I haven't set this up for my personal machines yet but you can trivially use a tmpfs as your / and then use impermanence to explicitly opt into stateful files and directories that you want to keep across reboots like login passwords, host keys etc.

Ask HN: What do you use for note-taking or as knowledge base?
I keep absolutely everything in a single folder. Saved documents, images, movies, financial records, game saves, it doesn't matter. My hierarchical naming scheme takes care of organization. On the odd occasion I actually need a folder, I just append ".d" to the filename.
I use . as a hierarchy delimiter, so file extensions are just part of the hierarchy, and I can have multiple files with the same name except for the extension. For example, "film.spongebob.png" is a photo of spongebob, "film.spongebob.org" is a note about spongebob, and "film.spongebob.s1.e7" is my favorite episode.
I use org-roam [1] for note-taking and task/time-management. I absolutely require a plain-text system so it either had to be markdown or org-mode. Emacs was the deciding factor, else I would have still been using Dendron [2]
If OneNote is your thing, I'd probably recommend Obsidian [3] over org-roam. Despite it being the greatest program ever created, Emacs is a lot to learn "just" for taking notes.
If you like VS Code, check out Dendron. It's the one that got me into more serious PKMS instead of just chucking notes in a folder all willy nilly.

Org-roam: find "linkable" text in node
I'm using org-roam to keep my notes, which generally works well for me. There's one thing I am missing and I'm wondering if I just overlooked it, or whether it simply doesn't exist.

Bi-directional links in org mode?
Org-Roam is a Roam-inspired Emacs mode that builds on top of org mode. Every node (aka note) has a unique ID that's different from its name. Every link from node A to node B actually links to the ID, so you can change node B's name without affecting the link. When you're on node B, you can open the Roam buffer and it will show you all of the links that point to that node.

Useful programs
Org Mode. I can export my notes to LaTeX or HTML and keep things tidy in a zettelkasten with org-roam.

What should I use to take notes in college?
Of course, the real power-user move would be to use Emacs with Org-Roam, but you have to be prepared to dive deep into the rabbit-hole. If you don't, it won't be worth it. If you do, you'll be handsomely rewarded. I know because I have, and I can highly recommend it if you like tinkering with and customising your tools. IMO, Doom Emacs is the way to go nowadays.

Is orgmode really that much better than an equivalent workflow using vim + other tools?
Since I'm studying a topic for which I already have many notes, I connected my new notes to the existing ones. I'm using Org-Roam.

Emacs for literature
I use org-roam extensively for managing notes. Specifically, I more or less adhere to the principles or /r/zettlekasten when doing so, which is specifically geared towards taking notes for the purpose of writing (traditionally non-fiction). The rough idea is that notes are structured in a way such that you can browse them non-linearly: you can follow different paths through your notes, not just from the top of a document to the bottom, or from the 1st note to the last. And the act of looking through notes becomes a bit like having a conversation with your knowledge base.
