Why I love NixOS

Why I love NixOS

Why I love NixOS is really about the Nix package manager, reproducibility, and sane system management in the LLM coding era.

I'd love NixOS more if they had any decent documentation.

Everything seems scattered around a dozen forums, a hundred old blog posts, and a thousand issues of "this work on my machine (3 releases ago)".

It doesn't help that there are two NixOS wikis. nixos.wiki and wiki.nixos.org.

wiki.nixos.org claims that nixos.wiki is outdated and unofficial. But both appear to receive updates, and which one wins the SEO game is a coinflip whenever i google a nixos question.

nixos.org is the official wiki. It will take time for search ranking to beat the old one.
