You and Vimjoyer are probably the future of NixOS actually having good tutorials and documentation.

My brother in christ - this is EASILY the best intro to Nix I've ever found! Thank you so much for putting this together. You covered so much ground here, from clearly explaining the benefits of Nix, to the basics of the Nix language (which I've never seen any other Nix video go over), to productively using NixOS. I mean this is seriously just awesome man! Thank you so much for putting this together!

Looking forward to the Nix Drama video.

Awesome! As a linux user, I have heard of NixOS and got interested in it since two months ago, I did install it in a virtual machine, but never really understood what's going on in it, so just put the virtual machine there. This video is so clear and makes me feel like I can play with it again!

Great presentation. Kudos also for wayland vs X11 & hyprland.

I knew nothing of nix before this video. It looks evolutionary

This is one of the most beginner friendly explanation on Nix i have seen so far. I can't thank You enough. Awesome and keep growing.

this was the guide I was looking for. Thank you so much-- I've downloaded the transcript and saved it as a doc on my system so I can reference it even.

Thank you so much for this! Finding good nix resources is so hard

Thanks for the information-packed video! I tried out NixOS once but did not continue. I may not yet have felt the pain enough on my Arch based system to do the switch, but I am intrigued and may start soon trying it out on a spare laptop.

Always a surprise finding Creo enjoyers randomly on the internet

[BettersonMcgee]

very informative and interesting! Thank you!

[richardminasian]

Yes, I like to see the Nix Vim guide please.

[tobzdaman]

Yep, this video is the ONE. Thank you so much! :D

[TheMadSqu]

This was pretty cool! I understood maybe half of what you said there but the way it was presented and explained was done very well!

I am using Arch btw.

This is very exciting from the perspective of someone already comfortable with Linux and actual sysadmins. I’m even more interested to see if this declarative method can be brought to a more beginner-friendly distro, or if some enterprising people will create a distro of NixOS that’s at least what endeavourOS is to Arch.

I have to get a new laptop soon anyway, I might try NixOS, though imagine I would miss the Blackarch repos pretty quick. (Unless I can find all those tools in the nix repos…)

Great Video! Help me a lot. Want to see the vim video. 😂
