So, I'm being tempted to have a play with nixos on a throwaway VM. Does anyone have a recommendation of how to get into it? @grhmc perhaps?

I installed some personal vps instances with nixos, some time later felt it was time to install it on my main system, and since then haven't looked back even once

Right now I'm trying to learn *enough* to get a basic familiar desktop environment going. Once I've managed that I'll consider what to do afterwards.

Excellent :) For me writing a couple of packages got me going with the language and concepts. Also using nix-shells, because they are very handy.

Rough desktop working, so now I need to work out how to make it all declarative. It's not nice to have to faff with `dconf-editor` even if I can `nix-shell -p dconf-editor dconf-editor` :D
