Learning ❄️ Nix Crash Course 🏃🏽‍➡️¶

Nix is several things:

• a functional configuration language
• a package 📦 manager (like apt or dnf) using said language; this can be used on any Linux distro, as well as on 🍎 Macs (like Homebrew 🍺 brew)
• a declarative Linux distro called NixOS (like Fedora, Ubuntu or Debian)

When we got started with Nix, we found its learning curve to be quite steep.

This crash course is intended to help flatten that curve for you.
