What I see as a barrier for entry to Nix/NixOS is not the UX, but the available documentation, or lack of thereof. One may consider the docs being part of UX though. I am in the process of writing a book about NixOS, you may track the progress here:
https://drakerossman.com/blog/practical-nixos-the-book https://drakerossman.com/blog/practical-nixos-the-book
The emphasis is on how to make it as practical as possible, plus cover the topics which may apply to Linux in general, and in great detail.
- tacon 4y agoYour email form to follow the book is returning errors to me. And you have no other contact channels I can find. Might want to look into that.
- drakerossman 4y agoThank you for pointing that out! I have a twitter with the same handle, if you would like to subscribe to that. If not - wouldn't you mind a follow-up email when I fix the subscription form?
- ronef 4y agoExcited to see this being in progress. Have you checked out the docs effort spun up with the Nix Documentation team?
- drakerossman 4y agoYes, and was, to be quite honest, not quite impressed. They lay a foundation stone, but don't actually go that much further.
