You aren’t dumb. Nix is that rarest of birds: something damned-near impossible to learn well that’s still worth it.
Learning Nix well from the Internet is a horror film. But… once you do it’s shockingly, actually worth it.
Getting anything complicated working/building under Nix is a PITA, the payoff is that when you fix broken things, they stay fixed.
