NixOS: Learning to build (aND dESTROY!) with Nix

TecHeart takes a deeper dive into NixOS. We'll learn how to build a declarative NixOS system with configuration.nix, and how to install packages to the shell or user space with other Nix commands...

After we create a good system, we'll BLOW IT UP and show the power of NixOS to rebuild systems on other hardware... this will begin to show you the power of NixOS and how you can use it across all of your machines to quickly bring up Linux setups.
