    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!

    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!

  • @Nerd2Ninja
    @Nerd2Ninja Před 26 dny

    Alright watched the video. It was okay I guess. I take things really slow though. Kinda wish there was a video series for flakes the same way there are video series to learn other programming languages.
    I know it sounds like "why?" like it should be too simple for that at first, but really go over every programming language edgecase. How do you install a node.js program with a flake, how do you install a golang package? I think the most basic flake tutorials only cover installing C programs right? and then it could progress from there into dream2nix or something after all those cases are covered.

  • @fabianoslack4269
    @fabianoslack4269 Před 27 dny

    4:19 ok, i get the idea regarding to binaries. But what about config files. Maybe package 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 will receive instructions from a config file and this can create an struggle here, right?
    Lets say config file for 1.1.0 have a property while config file for 1.2.0 have same property and once these two different are executed , they crash due to common values touching each other on the system…
    Im new to nixos (found it few hours ago, so i dont know if my question is dumb or not). Let me know.
    Nice video and thank you!

    • @CrazyMineCuber
      @CrazyMineCuber Před 27 dny +1

      Configuration is normally treated completely separately from the binaries on NixOS. Configuration is instead treated through the NixOS module system, which compiles the /etc directory and creates symlinks from /etc to the configuration files in /nix/store. For configs in your home directory, NixOS by default does not manage your home directory. That is what home-manager is for.
      Normally, you do not have multiple versions of the same application installed. If you do, both versions are probably configured to read from the same config file, so they will just use that one. If you somehow manage to convince the NixOS module system to generate two versions of the same config file, you will get a compilation error and you have to fore chose which version to use.

    • @Ampersand-xc9jp
      @Ampersand-xc9jp  Před 26 dny

      Yeah, basically, both packages read from the same config. If these configurations are incompatible between versions, it can lead to conflicts and crashes. But I personally haven't encountered crashes because of the different package versions

    Question to creator if video!
    Can you list me advantages that nix os has over debian?
    But, be real i dont need a reproducaple system and i use linux to work (hardware design and embedded). I am planning to use nix at arm, is it good idea?

    • @user-vw2qt8vp8e
      @user-vw2qt8vp8e Před 28 dny

      Debian is just shit man if not nixos might as well use arch but not debian no good support or community you gotta figure it out thru old arse forums + not that great of a package manager too

    • @Ampersand-xc9jp
      @Ampersand-xc9jp  Před 27 dny +5

      If you want a really stable system where you control almost everything, then you'll like NixOS more than Debian. Also, if you are going to use multiple ARM devices, Nix's declarative approach ensures that your setup can be reproduced reliably across them. There are fewer resources specifically tailored to using Nix on ARM compared to x86. However, this gap is gradually narrowing as interest in ARM-based systems grows
