Drake's book looks great. I appreciate his efforts to create a mental model and learning approach to NixOS.

I found a set of tutorials on YouTube by Will, to be incredibly helpful at the beginning of my NixOS journey. Even though these tutorials are a couple of years old, they should have aged well.

Drake's book, should help confirm some assumptions I've made about how NixOS works. Given NixOS's declarative nature, I find it easy to copy configurations to do what I want - a handy approach when pressed for time, but it does leave some gaps in understanding that need to be filled.

You can find the tutorials I mentioned at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-saUBvIJzOkjAw_vOac7...

The tutorials are easy to understand and have good explanations
