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


Take a look at [[{{ns:4}}:About]]<!-- [[{{SITENAME}}:About]] !-->.
<!--T:2-->
NixOS is a [https://kernel.org/ Linux] operating system based on the Nix package manager and the Nixpkgs package repository.


== Getting started ==
<!--T:3-->
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|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].


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


* [https://nixos.org/nix/manual/ Nix manual]
<!--T:12-->
* [https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/ NixOS manual]
* [[Home Manager|Home Manager]], a system for managing user profile & home directory contents
* [https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/ Nixpkgs manual]
* [[Flakes|Nix Flakes]], an experimental feature for managing dependencies of Nix projects
* [https://nixos.org/nixops/manual/ NixOps manual]
* [[Cheatsheet]]


=== Clarifications ===
<!--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.
