Talk:Nix ecosystem

Is this an official term?

I see the Nix ecosystem referenced in different parts of the wiki, however, is it an 'official' term? Or rather, does it have a formal definition in the documentation?

I'm not necessarily proposing changing the page, rather, I am wondering whether this terminology is the best way to define the set of tools we use. To be clear, it might be, I'm simply trying to construct a Nix learning journey from first principles, and to figure out the most natural way all the tools we use come together.

I don't think it has a formal term but I do see it places such as the opening statement on https://nix.dev/index.html: "nix.dev is the home of official documentation for the Nix ecosystem". So therefore I would take that to mean anything mentioned on nix.dev is considered to be in the Nix ecosystem. Pigs (talk) 17:21, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Maybe a looser definition is anything mentioned in https://github.com/NixOS or https://github.com/nix-community Pigs (talk) 17:28, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
