So after being a long-time Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/etc user, I finally decided to give NixOS a try after the recent RHEL news.

And BOY and I blown away. You can do so much more than I thought possible with automation on NixOS. It’s incredible!

Since I"m so new, I do have a question for you all: What’s your go-to resource for learning Nix/NixOS?

Thanks!

    Oh its been a week. I’m neck deep in flakes and don’t want to go back :) NUR, Sops-nix, both stable and unstable packages (unstable gnome fixes an issue im having), lanzaboote for secure boot, home manager and my dotfiles enabled in my flakes.nix! Its been a wonderful learning process.

      Oh, how’s Lanzaboote? I’ve wanted to try it but I heard somewhere that it might not be suitable for a ZFS system.

        No complaints. Easier setup than I initially thought! I don’t use ZFS though. Just plain ol ext4 :)

          Might give that a try later myself then. I’m planning on setting up impermanence later, so might as well risk doing this too! I think I just need to sign the ZFS kernel module to get secure boot working.
