Hello, everyone! I'm a long time Linux user who has warily stared at NixOS from the safe distance one might give to wild animals on a safari for quite some time now... And I finally decided, "fuck it, I'm gonna poke it with a stick."

I absolutely adore this system, even as strange a paradigm as it is coming from a decade of "traditional" management systems. I haven't been this excited about a Linux distro since... Well, ever really. Maybe OpenSUSE Tumbleweed? I can't recall.

Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself and preach to the choir for a second, so to speak. As someone totally new to this paradigm of system management, what are your #1 must read/watch resources you would recommend? I've perused through the NixOS Learn website over the last couple of days, and I'm itching for more. I can't wait to see what all this system is capable of!

~~I tried it, and refunded the day I tried it. I was shocked to find it's just a botched mess~~

Welp, pretty sure I confused nix with something else here. Now I don't know what the thing I refunded was called. Not that it matters anyways

Full or partial refund? Back to original payment method, or just nix store credit?

Full refund, to my bank account. Not for nixos, for the thing I confused it with. And I forgot what that was called
