New guide on getnix.io — "What is Nix?"
A beginner-friendly intro to what Nix actually is, how it differs from Docker/Homebrew/Apt/Ansible, and the core concepts you need before diving in. If you've ever wondered why people keep talking about Nix, this one's for you.

Back from a busy week at Cloud Native #Rejekts and #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon in Amsterdam.
Thanks to this incredible community and I am very grateful for all the friends I got to catch up with, and for the new ones I met along the way. Special shout-out to the #Nix folks: loved connecting, and it’s exciting to see touchpoints with both communities.
Ok, I must have to admit that sometimes staying on Nix can be cumbersome, but I still love it
More Nix and non-systemd goodness that I've just learned about.
Finix: fast init Nix
https://github.com/finix-community/finix
An (experimental) Nixos system using finit.
The maintainer reached out to me on discourse and cued me in on this project after I posted about my Liberated Systemd overwrite posted above. I didn't know anyone was working on this, but I'm pleasently surprised!
It's usable right now and (according to them) would benefit from some more experienced users to test things out.
I've not tried it yet (I expect some stuff to not work, but I've seen some setups from folks that appear to have full DEs and WMs). However, I'm glad there's a real PID 1 replacement that is working in NixOS.
It's all built on top of nixpkgs, so it looks like (and the maintainer confirmed) you can just fold this into your existing config and the fix whatever systemd services that weren't ported.
I'll probably play with this soon. Very cool!
