I'm getting on the hype train. What do you recommend to beginner?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/NixOS

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • flake-parts

    ❄️ Simplify Nix Flakes with the module system

  • Some flake libraries are unnecessarily complicated or obscure, and that might be another concern. Imo flake-utils and flake-utils-plus are fine on that front, but flake-parts is the clear winner among frameworks/libraries for writing flakes concisely.

  • Nix-Config

    My Nix Config (by Wick3d-git)

  • If for some reason the formatting is too bad take a look at my github (there's current no documentation on install so just use it for reference) GitHub Link

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • Be aware of what's available. The Nix website is perfect for looking this stuff up. Here's links for options and packages. The nixpkgs repo houses everything you see when searching for packages, and it's very likely that whatever you might want already has a derivation for it. You may also want to see how nixpkgs releases packages, because there's some time between when the derivation is available vs when your PR gets merged. Info on the nixpkgs repo.
