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

Upgrading to NixOS 22.11 Issue

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.

How do I do declarative package management using nix package manager on Debian?
There are multiple ways of managing declarative profiles. 1) Attrset, compatible with imperative use of nix-env https://git.io/fAQHW ; 2) buildEnv, providing more control over the paths that are linked into the profile https://git.io/fp0aU ; 3) home-manager, providing nixos-like config for your ~ https://github.com/rycee/home-manager
What are some alternatives?
nixos-flake-example - This is a demo NixOS config, with optional flakes support. Along with notes on why flakes is useful and worth adopting.
