Lix doesn't exist in a vacuum -- but instead builds atop the incredible work of dozens of
|
|
NixOS community members. This page collects resources that have been recommended by members
|
|
of the community.
|
|
|
|
We're also currently in the process of writing brand new documentation, which will be listed here
|
|
once available.
