From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

NixOS - Beginner Resources for Flakes (lemmy.world)

Hi all! I'm trying to learn more about NixOS and wondering if anyone had an material they'd recommend that was Flake centric?

I'm planning to test drive NixOS on a secondary laptop as a learning opportunity- not planning on using it as a daily driver at this time, so I'm not too concerned about the learning curve; I realize it'll be a bumpy and steep road!

I did want to give a shout-out to @[email protected] and everyone who replied in the NixOS beginner resources thread! Tons of good content shared there that I'm still working my way through.

I am new to nixos too. As for flakes, it is little complicated at least for me. Vimjoyer video helped me understand little about flake. Here the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCeYq72Sko0 You can go through his nixos series. And there another YouTuber librephoenix. He has good learning material too. Here is link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeZyoDTk0J-UPhd7MUktexw

Thanks for sharing! I've been watching some of Vimjoyer's stuff and it is very helpful! I'll be sure to add librephoenix to the list!
