# 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).

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.
|
||||||
[automatic source updates](./pkgs#automatic-source-updates).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Skip the indeterminate nature of other systems, _and_ the perceived
|
They also make [Nix expressions](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/expressions/expression-syntax.html) easier to distribute and reuse with convient [flake references](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/nix/flake.md#flake-references) for building or using packages, modules, and whole systems.
|
||||||
tedium of bootstrapping Nix. It's easier than you think!
|
|
||||||
|
## Getting Started
|
||||||
|
Check out the [guide](https://devos.divnix.com/start) to get up and running.
|
||||||
|
Also, have a look at [_flake.nix_][toc]. If anything is not immediately
|
||||||
|
discoverable via "[`digga`][digga]'s [`mkFlake`][mk-flake],
|
||||||
|
please file a bug report.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## 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.
