### Extra Cool Stuff
These are things I used that ended up not entirely fitting my use-case, but they're wonderful nonetheless and I totally respect and recommend them!

# Resources
### Nix & NixOS Sources
Official:
- [NixOS website][n1]
- [Nix package manager & NixOS download][n2]
- The `nix-env` package manager works like most other package managers.
- However, I'd advise against it if you really want to get into Nix's declarative nature
- Unless all you want is just a good package manager
- [Nix ecosystem documentation][n3]
- [Nix language guide][n4]
- [NixOS wiki][n5]
- Search
- [Search Nix packages][n6]
- [Search NixOS options][n7]
Unofficial:
- [Awesome Nix][n8]
- Flakes
- [NixOS & Flakes Book][n9]
- [Very helpful guide to Nix flakes][n10]
- Nix flakes may seem daunting at first, but they make it super easy to add extra sources and configuration options. Plus, they're declarative while nix channels are not.
- [Nix User Repository (NUR)][n11]
- [User-maintained NixOS wiki][n12]
- [Nix applications and ecosystem][n13]

### Home Manager
A declarative approach to configuring your user environment! It's like NixOS's configuration file, but only for the home directory. It's great if you want to tinker without adding a bunch of generations to your boot menu, or use different configurations for users on the same system.
It can work on other distros too—I tried it on openSUSE Tumbleweed, though not long-term.

### Extras
I mainly use NixOS and Home Manager, but here are some other interesting tools.
- [nh][em1], a pretty wrapper for rebuilding
- [NixVim][em2], for configuring Neovim and its plugins declaratively
- [Documentation][em3]
- [Stylix][em5], for quick universal colorschemes and fonts
- [Documentation][em6]
- [nix-flatpak][em4], for managing Flatpaks declaratively

# Pieces of Advice
- Use `nix path-info nixpkgs#`!
- Trust me, it is _not_ fun to manually search through `nix/store/` to find a specific package file
- The sooner you're know this, the better!
- If you want a starter config, start small!
- You can understand a lot by doing things yourself
- And configs that are too complex may confuse you out of changing them
- If you really want a config without the manual effort, NixOS is probably not for you
- NixOS documentation is truly sparse
- To dig deep, don't be afraid to look through the source code and manuals
- You can do a ton on NixOS, but it takes time, effort, and undoubtly frustration
- You don't need to rely on the options NixOS and Home Manager give you to create config files
- NixOS has `environment.etc."path/file.type"`, meaning `etc/path/file.type`
- Home Manager has many:
- `home.file."path/file.type"` means `home/user/path/file.type`
- `xdg.configFile."path/file.type"` means `~/.config/path/file.type`
- (Unless you changed your XDG config directory)
- You can use `"path/file.type".source = config.lib.file.mkOutOfStoreSymlink /absolute/path/to/file` to symlink an existing file to the location you want
- Or create your own modules
- NixOS works very differently to other Linux distros, but that's why I enjoy it!
