hi all, may i add that i rand into some pitfalls when learning nix/nixos when i used information from wikis and blogs. as nixos is quite young and still in flux, most of the information is only appropriate to a certain range of nix versions. for the case of the wiki, if it shall be kept, a simple method to avoid these pitfalls would be that it should be mandatory to declare the version of nix/nixos when writing/modifying a wiki entry. regards, dieter this is my first post here. i am quite new to nix/nixos and am fascinated by the concepts. mostly, i am interested in bringing a machine up to a certain, well defined, state in a reproducible manner. colleagues usually do this by hand-tuning a machine until it fits, and then clone, which always seemed awkward to me. well.
