  I really don't see how it is "unacceptably bad". You don't even have to understand anything about Nix and still be able to use the damn thing. Yes the real-version vs attribute-name-that-contains-a-version is a bit wonky but in practice that's seriously not an issue.

  But really, for versions you can actually pick whatever version you wish by hitting a specific channel state:

  Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

  I recommend Podman instead because it is compatible with Docker containers but does not require root privilege.[1]

  She is already a sysadmin. But multiply the number of machines to maintain by a factor of 1000 to start. ^_^

  Going back to "Get Started" (https://nixos.org/learn), the next options is "First steps with Nix" (https://nix.dev/tutorials/first-steps/). The options here are:
