What's inside

Seven short sections. The exact path I wish someone had handed me on day one.

01

Why NixOS, honestly

The real tradeoff, no marketing.

02

Before you install

What you need, what to skip.

03

The core concept

The one idea that makes it click.

04

Installation

The short version, no filler.

05

Your first dev setup

Packages, and my first real mistake.

06

Where to get help

Real places, not just "google it."

07

What to expect, week one

So you don't quit on day two.

Written for career-changers, late starters, and the tech-curious over 40. Not a marketing funnel — a real guide from someone still learning this himself, documented on YouTube as it happens, mistakes included.
