NixOS Wiki:About
What?
The NixOS Wiki is a community-run project to collect documentation for NixOS users.
NixOS is a Linux distribution based on the Nix package manager and the Nixpkgs software repository. All three are part of the Nix ecosystem.
Why?
The original NixOS wiki was shut down.
We felt that the NixOS manual, Nixpkgs manual, Nix manual, nix.dev are all excellent but not the medium of choice for many situations.
The nix-users Wiki was too limiting with regards to wiki features, so we set up this wiki.
See The history of the NixOS wikis for more information.
