This is the official NixOS Wiki. It includes topics not covered in the 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 Core Ecosystem overview article to get a comprehensive orientation. For more specific introductions, see:

If you want to try Nix standalone in another Linux distribution or on a Mac, take your first steps on nix.dev.
A lot of people use Home Manager for managing the contents of their home directory, many use Flakes instead of the NixOS bi-annually release channels.

- On desktop, with NixOS as a desktop
