Hey, author here, the blog post takes you through my journey with nix so far: reviving an old Pixelbook with NixOS, wrangling my MacBook with nix-darwin, and super-charging Nix with AI to solve a problem I thought was unsolvable.

Happy to answer any questions!

This "NixOS & Flakes Book" https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world was posted to HN some years ago and is still a good/relevant read.

		I second this. It's what I read a few months ago when I first started using Nix and it's highly approachable for beginners.
