After becoming familiar with the NixOS, you can further explore Nix's three manuals and other docs to discover more ways to use it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [Nix Reference Manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/package-management/profiles.html): A guide to the Nix package manager, which mainly covers the design of the package manager and instructions for using it from the command line.
|
||
|
|
- [nixpkgs Manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/): A manual that introduces parameters of Nixpkgs, how to use, modify, and package Nix packages.
|
||
|
|
- [NixOS Manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/): A user manual for NixOS, mainly including configuration instructions for system-level components such as Wayland/X11 and GPU.
|
||
|
|
- [nix-pills](https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills): Nix Pills provides an in-depth explanation of how to use Nix to build software packages. It is written in a clear and understandable way and is worth reading, as it is also sufficiently in-depth.
