# Introduction ### Why?
DevOS grants a simple template to use, deploy and manage [NixOS][nixos] systems Make an awesome template for NixOS users, with consideration for common tools like [home-manager][home-manager],
for personal and productive use. A sane repository structure is provided,
integrating several popular projects like [home-manager][home-manager],
[devshell][devshell], and [more](./doc/integrations). [devshell][devshell], and [more](./doc/integrations).
Striving for ___nix first™___ solutions with unobstrusive implementations, ### No. Why _flakes_?
a [flake centric][flake-doc] approach is taken for useful conveniences such as Flakes are a part of an explicit push to improve [Nix's UI](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/doc/manual/src/contributing/cli-guideline.md), and have become an intergral part of that effort.

## Motivation
NixOS provides an amazing abstraction to manage our environment, but that new
power can sometimes bring feelings of overwhelm and confusion. Having a turing
complete system can easily lead to unlimited complexity if we do it wrong.
Instead, we should have a community consensus on how to manage a NixOS system
and its satellite projects, from which best practices can evolve.
___The future is declarative! 🎉___
## Community Profiles
There are two branches from which to choose: [core][core] and
[community][community]. The community branch builds on core and includes
several ready-made profiles for discretionary use.
Every package and NixOS profile declared in community is uploaded to
[cachix](./integrations/cachix.md), so everything provided is available
without building anything. This is especially useful for the packages that are
[overridden](./concepts/overrides.md) from master, as without the cache,
rebuilds are quite frequent.
