Many great additional tools exist in the Nix ecosystem, such as:

  |content={{:NixOS Wiki/special pages}}}}
<!--T:12-->
</div>
* [[Home Manager|Home Manager]], a system for managing user profile & home directory contents
</div>
* [[Flakes|Nix Flakes]], an experimental feature for managing dependencies of Nix projects
</div>
 
<!--T:13-->
These add complexity and may be confusing at first, and you may even decide that you don't need them.
Start with plain Nix/NixOS, and only integrate Home Manager and/or Flakes into your setup once you're confident with Nix/NixOS and comprehend their significance.}}
