Funny: Nix is short (or colloquial) for "nichts" in German which further means "nothing" in English. So the CTA "Get Nix" is kinda funny for German speaking people :) PS: Greetings from Austria!

I believe that this meaning is even intentional, the original author of nix (Eelco Dolstra) is from the Netherlands. The name comes from the fact that by default, nothing is available in build environments in nix.
