    I am not in a state to write a detailed recommendation list for all the things you've mentioned, but: - There is indeed an official Matrix room: #nix:nixos.org . I believe this is the most popular Nix community out there. - As for multiple hosts, there are different approaches out there. Typically you will write NixOS "modules" (which are like pieces of configuration) and then merge (combine) them together, along with some machine-specific overrides, to get configurations for all your machines. I do something similar for my config. Here are the modules: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/tree/master/profiles which configure different pieces of my system, then those modules are combined into "roles" (e.g. here's a desktop role: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/roles/desktop.nix) and then those roles are imported from actual machine configs with some overrides (e.g. here's the config for the box I'm writing this from: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/machines/AMD-Workstation/default.nix)
