NixOS

Documentation for declarative system management, reproducible builds, and the Nix package manager.

❄️ The Nix Philosophy#

• Declarative Configuration: Managing state via configuration.nix rather than imperative commands.
• Generations: Atomic upgrades and rollback capability.

📦 Ecosystem & Packages#

• Flakes: Managing hermetic dependencies and project-specific environments.
• Home Manager: Dotfile management and user-space configuration.
• Nixpkgs: Package overlays and custom derivations.
