  1. nixos.fi

    NixOS netboot server configurations

  2. InfluxDB

  3. nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

    (Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)

  4. impermanence

    Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]

    I would not call these projects unbelievable, but they are neat.

    - Opt-in state: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence and https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/

  5. musnix

    Real-time audio in NixOS

    - Ease of setting up a real-time audio: https://github.com/musnix/musnix

  6. microvm.nix

    NixOS MicroVMs

    - Generating virtual machines/installators from a configuration: https://github.com/astro/microvm.nix and https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators

  7. mirpkgs

    Nix packages for reproducible MIR research

    - A neat collection of music information retrieval packages in one place (and the ease of creating your own package registry): https://github.com/carlthome/mirpkgs

  8. flake-compat

    See https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat for prior art.

    The key point of Tvix _not_ having support for Flakes is to not make special snowflake evaluator features that are tied in with it.

  9. CodeRabbit

  10. nix-snapshotter

    Brings native understanding of Nix packages to containerd

    Not super recent, but nix-snapshotter is one that I'd call awesome(but I'm also a k8s fanboi): https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter
