Another good option: https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs

I started with this one, the minimal version, then moved on to something more like the standard version, and now I'm moving on to something based on his much more complicated and flexible build in a different repo. I had been flailing, then this repo made it click.

Same here, that repo is fantastic.

  • His documentation has gotten better too! I actually just rebuilt my entire config based on his updated "standard" version. I want to use his "non-starter" config too, bc it seems remarkably powerful, but ... I need more time and brain to do that.

    And, just to be clear, I rebuilt my entire config in less than an hour, copying and pasting where necessary, then it took about 20 minutes (!!) to download and setup all my software. Only one error, so I consider that a significant My NixOS Journey accomplishment! Granted, because it's NixOS, I have NO IDEA AT ALL what the error was, lol.
