Isn't you disagreeing proving OPs point concerning the splitting of the community? :)
That said: I'm completely new to nix and just like op described couldn't get my hands on in depth primary documentation or references - could you help me there and point me to a good starting point?
Thanks in advance!
@natecox It is exactly this steep learning curve that pushed me away from nix and NixOS.
It's amazing what it can do but I just do not have the time and commitment to learn it. In the end, nix should be a tool and not a skill to master.
Thanks for the link and tips! Do you have something similar specific to flakes? The basic concepts seem straight forward and actually chatgpt was of great help so far - but I can't get the feet on the ground with these fancy new packages :D
You're a good nugget! ♥ Thanks a lot!!
