This is the official NixOS Wiki.
It includes topics not covered in the [<tvar name=1>https://nixos.org/nixos/manual</tvar> NixOS Manual]: NixOS user guides, configuration examples, and troubleshooting tips.


<!--T:2-->
NixOS is a [<tvar name=1>https://kernel.org/</tvar> Linux] operating system based on the Nix package manager and the Nixpkgs package repository.


<!--T:3-->
Newcomers to NixOS are encouraged to read the [[<tvar name=0>Special:MyLanguage/Nix Ecosystem</tvar>|Nix Core Ecosystem]] overview article to get a comprehensive orientation. For more specific introductions, see:
* [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Overview_of_the_NixOS_Linux_distribution</tvar>|NixOS]]
* [[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/Nix package manager</tvar>|Nix package manager]]
* [[<tvar name=3>Special:MyLanguage/Nixpkgs</tvar>|Nixpkgs package repository]]
* [[<tvar name=4>Special:MyLanguage/Overview of the Nix Language</tvar>|Nix Language]]
If you want to try Nix standalone in another Linux distribution or on a Mac, take your first steps on [<tvar name=5>https://nix.dev</tvar> nix.dev].


<!--T:4-->
Many great additional tools exist in the Nix ecosystem, such as:


Consult the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software.
<!--T:12-->
* [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Home Manager</tvar>|Home Manager]], a system for managing user profile & home directory contents
* [[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/Flakes</tvar>|Nix Flakes]], an experimental feature for managing dependencies of Nix projects


== Getting started ==
<!--T:13-->
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]
These add complexity and may be confusing at first, and you may even decide that you don't need them.
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]
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.
