It includes topics not covered in the [https://nixos.org/nixos/manual NixOS Manual]: NixOS user guides, configuration examples, and troubleshooting tips.

NixOS is a Linux operating system based on the Nix package manager and the Nixpkgs package repository.

Newcomers to NixOS are encouraged to read the [[Nix Ecosystem|Nix Core Ecosystem]] overview article to get a comprehensive orientation. For more specific introductions, see:

* [[Overview_of_the_NixOS_Linux_distribution|NixOS]]

* [[Nix package manager]]

* [[Nixpkgs]] package repository

* [[Overview of the Nix Language |Nix Language]]

If you want to try Nix standalone in another Linux distribution or on a Mac, take your first steps on [https://nix.dev nix.dev].

Much great additional tooling exists in the Nix ecosystem such as:

* [[Home Manager|Home-manager]] to manage user profile & home directory contents

* [[Flakes|Nix Flakes]] instead of nix-channel

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.}}

<!-- once ready: * On your computer, with [[NixOS Installation Guide]] -->

* On desktop, with [[NixOS as a desktop]]

* On ARM, with [[NixOS on ARM]]

* In the cloud, with [[NixOS friendly hosters]]

First stop should be [[Resources]], which serves as a gateway to the most important documentation. Some highlights below.

* [[FAQ]]

* [[Nix vs. Linux Standard Base]]

* [[Terms and Definitions in Nix Project]]

* [[Cheatsheet|Cheatsheet / Comparison between Ubuntu and NixOS]]
