I heard a lot about the concepts of nix and NixOS and I’d love to try it.

After installing the VirtualBox demo, I keep getting stuck with every tiny step I take, though.

So I was wondering if there are any tutorials for beginners that you can recommend?

I couldn’t find anything on the internet - everything that looks like a tutorial presumes a lot of things everybody seems to know about nix, so no need to explain those.

Where can I find those explanations to make the first baby steps with NixOS?

To put it in other words: Where is NixOS for dummies?

    That sounds like something I should try, too.

    Currently I’m using Linux Mint and I also have a dotfiles repo, so that sounds quite similar to your case.
