We're also currently in the process of writing brand new documentation, which will be listed here
once available.
## A note of caution
Nix has a long history. Some things that seemed like good ideas once are no longer common practice. In particular:
- It's probably a good idea to ignore `nix-env` and mutable environments in favor of declarative configuration
- If you don't already use channels, it's probably a good idea to learn about flakes or some other pinning mechanism instead
If you're learning about those topics because you want to understand the ideas that are currently in favor in the historical contexts they are responses to, or because you think you see a benefit to them that others don't, that's totally fine; this warning is only here to help beginners have a fruitful experience.
