-->
If you have an existing configuration on **NixOS** or **nix-darwin**, there are
a couple of ways to switch to Lix, all of which are relatively easy.
- Using Lix from nixpkgs:
- Potentially slightly older version of Lix
- Working binary caching
- Programs like nix-eval-jobs and colmena still use the default version of
Nix (may be unacceptable depending on your use case)
- Using the Lix NixOS module:
- Fresh version of Lix right out of the freezer
- You will be compiling Lix yourself, for now at least
- Programs like nix-eval-jobs and colmena have the version of Nix they use
overridden by an overlay such that most of the system uses Lix.
# Using Lix from nixpkgs
This approach has some caveats: since it is not using an overlay, it does not
set the version of Nix depended on by other tools like colmena or
nix-eval-jobs. Consequently, those tools will be using whichever version of
CppNix is default in nixpkgs, likely leading to an inconsistent experience. It
is, however, easy, and it does not take the few minutes to compile Lix from
source.
Add the following code to your NixOS configuration:
```nix
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
nix.package = pkgs.lix;
}
```
That's it, you're done.
You can verify that it works by running the following command:
```sh
$ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.91.1
```
# Using the Lix NixOS module
The Lix NixOS module is the way to get the most consistent experience using
Lix, and to have a system that has Lix as the default Nix implementation
wherever possible by using an overlay to replace `pkgs.nix`. It will result in
building Lix from source, which takes a few minutes on every update, which is a
perfect time to get up, get some water, and stretch for a bit.
If you have an existing configuration on **NixOS** or **nix-darwin**, the easiest way
to switch to Lix is currently by using our provided _NixOS module_. Fortunately, this
usually means adding only a couple of lines to your configuration.

wherever possible by using an overlay to replace `pkgs.nix`. It will result in
building Lix from source, which takes a few minutes on every update, which is a
perfect time to get up, get some water, and stretch for a bit.
## Flake-based Configurations
Adding Lix to a flake-based configuration is relatively simple. First, add the Lix module to your _flake inputs_:
```nix
{
inputs = {
# Add this section to your flake inputs!
#
# Note that this assumes you have a flake-input called nixpkgs,
# which is often the case. If you've named it something else,
# you'll need to change the `nixpkgs` below.

inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
}
# <rest of configuration omitted>
}
```
Next, add the `lix-module` as one of the arguments to your output function:
```nix
{
# <configuration above omitted>
# Add the `lix-module` argument to your output function, as below:
outputs = {nixpkgs, lix-module, ...}: {
# <rest of configuration omitted>
}
}
```
Add the Lix _NixOS Module_ to your configuration:
```nix
{
# <configuration above omitted>
# Add the `lix-module` argument to your output function, as below:
outputs = {nixpkgs, lix-module, ...}: {
# The configuration here is an example; it will look slightly different
# based on your platform (NixOS, nix-darwin) and architecture.
nixosConfigurations.your-box = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = "x86_64-linux"
modules = [
# This is the important part -- add this line to your module list!
lix-module.nixosModules.default
];
};
}
# <configuration below omitted>
}
```
<!--
FIXME: the binary cache doesn't do much good given that everyone is running a

{
nix.settings.substituters = [
"https://cache.lix.systems"
];
nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = [
"cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o="

}

You should now be using Lix! You can verify this by asking the `nix` command to report its version:
```sh
$ nix --version

```
As long as you see `Lix` in the output, you're good! If you're not sure what to do now, it's a
great time to check out some of the [community's resources on Nix](/resources).
## Non-Flake Configurations
If you're not using flakes, you can set up your configuration to automatically pull down a
Lix release tarball, and then add it to your `configuration.nix`.
Open your `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix` in the editor of your choice. Find the `imports`
section, and add the line provided in the configuration
```nix
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:

title = "Announcing Lix 2.90 \"Vanilla&nbsp;Ice&nbsp;Cream\""
author = "Lix Team"
date = "2024-07-10"
+++
We at the Lix team are proud to announce our first release, version 2.90
"Vanilla Ice Cream". This release focuses on foundations and reliability, but
nevertheless contains several small but exciting user-facing features that are
exclusive to Lix.
Lix is a Nix implementation focused on reliability, predictability,
friendliness, developed by a community of people from
around the world. We have long term plans to incrementally evolve Nix to work
in more places, to make it more reliable and secure, and to update
the language and semantics to correct past mistakes and reduce
errors, all the while providing an amazing tooling experience.
Lix forks from CppNix version 2.18, which is the default version of Nix in
NixOS 23.11 and 24.05. It includes backports for most bug fixes in later versions of
CppNix, as well as various reliability improvements, and many improvements to user
experience. Our goal with Lix 2.90 is to create a better Nix 2.18: faster, more
user friendly, with fewer bugs, and fully compatible with previously-valid
Nix code including flakes.
Some highlights of this release include:
- `:doc` in `nix repl` now works on lambdas, in addition to built-in functions
as before, thanks to [Lunaphied] and [jade]:
```

```
- `nix repl` supports creating shortcuts using the [`repl-overlays`][repl-overlays]
setting, thanks to [wiggles]. For example, one can create a shortcut to
`legacyPackages.${currentSystem}` with the following repl overlay, configured
as a file in the `repl-overlays` setting in `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
```nix
{ currentSystem, ...}: final: prev: let
optionalAttrs = predicate: attrs:

then attrs
else {};

```
- Evaluation is 5-20% faster than 2.18, depending on which benchmark is in use,
thanks to [eldritch horrors].
- Various user experience issues have been fixed. For example:
- Error reporting has been fixed to be more accurate in several cases thanks
to [wiggles], and errors give more details to diagnose them.
For instance, type errors now give the actual value that caused the error.
- `nix flake lock --update-input nixpkgs` is now the much more reasonable
`nix flake update nixpkgs`.
- `nix build -E` is now an alias for `nix build --expr`, mirroring `nix-build
-E`.
- Several very silly `--debugger` bugs that one runs into in normal usage
have been fixed thanks to [wiggles], so the debugger actually works properly
without a mental index of all the bugs in it.
- The Lix evaluation cache no longer caches failures, so "cached failure" is an
error of the past.
- The REPL value printer now intelligently chooses whether to print on one
line or multiple lines, rather than putting everything on one very long
line.
- Various failures that were silent in the past are no longer silent:
- The Lix daemon warns when it rejects a setting from a client that requires
being a trusted user, instead of silently ignoring it.
- Remote builds failing to connect to a builder now print the error.
- Crashing the daemon now indicates that is what probably happened.
- Lix now generally crashes much harder in the case of bugs, such that bugs
are easier to find and fix.
- Various errors have been made more specific, like "path is invalid".
- Several hauntings have been exorcised from the codebase:
- Flake input overrides like `foo.inputs.bar.inputs.nixpkgs` now work as
documented rather than being ignored.
- Store path names starting with `.` are now permitted, fixing some home-manager
issues.
- A crash when running patched kernels with non-default schedulers has been
fixed.
- Breakage inside the sandbox when running on systems with unprivileged user
namespaces disabled has been fixed.
- Various format string crashes have been fixed.
- `nix doctor` now has correct output of client trustedness.

A lot of internal stability work and development process work has gone into
this release. For instance:
- Lix builds exclusively with the Meson build system. The historical CppNix
Make-based build system has been removed altogether. This improves
compile times as well as various aspects of the developer experience: the `clangd`
language server just works with no configuration now, for instance.
- Lix has the beginnings of the infrastructure to do linting of its C++ code and work on
modernization with automated tools.
- Lix enforces various aspects of [its
styleguide][styleguide] with `pre-commit` hooks.
- A lot of onboarding and project planning information has been written down in
the [Wiki]. In general we strive to be transparent with our plans and
priorities, and to communicate them clearly.
- We have completed a release automation project, which should let us release more
frequently given that our `main` is more or less releaseable on any given day.
- We have built out a lot of infrastructure which we own end-to-end, allowing
us to quickly improve on pain points in the project ourselves.
- We have [Single Sign-On](https://identity.lix.systems) permitting us to
easily deploy more services that cleanly integrate together.
- We use [Gerrit](https://gerrit.lix.systems) for reviews, which allows us to
focus on providing prompt and high quality patch reviews by making it easy
to review changes piece by piece, with CI testing of every commit.
Gerrit is one of our secret superpowers in shipping correct code, since it,
by its structure, enforces good commit history, reviewable code, and
incremental changes.
- We use [Forgejo](https://git.lix.systems) for code hosting and issue
tracking, which we have customised to integrate natively with Gerrit and
to work natively with Nix flakes for locking tarballs.
- We have a [Wiki] with design documents, styleguide, and other project
organisational information.

The Lix team as well as several dozen beta testers have been running a
development release of Lix 2.90 in production every day for a couple of months,
and we do not expect any significant regressions compared to Nix 2.18. However,
if you find a bug or suspicious behaviour in Lix, feel free to mention it on
Matrix or [file a bug on Forgejo][bugs]. If you would like to participate in
beta testing of future Lix versions, we have a [guide on the wiki][beta-guide]
and a [Matrix channel][beta-channel] for running `main`.

We would especially like to thank all the following groups for their hard work
and trust in contributing to this release:
- The several dozen Lix beta testers who have been running Lix `main` in
production for over a month, and who have helped us fix the various
longstanding CppNix bugs they have had stuck in their craw as well as put up
with our work-in-progress infrastructure as we built it out.
- All the first time contributors who made their first contributions to a Nix
implementation in Lix. We are eternally grateful to everyone who helped us out
on the numerous important but tedious issues.
- All the people new to Nix who have trusted us by running experimental
versions of Lix and given us feedback.
- The long time CppNix contributors who came to Lix and helped out with fixing
many issues.
- The CppNix contributors and CppNix team, without whom we would not have this
software, and who wrote many of the bug fixes we backported to Lix from CppNix
versions > 2.18.
- Everyone else who has worked with us on starting to make this dream a
reality.
We are very proud of what everyone has achieved with this release since we
begun in late February 2024, and we are just getting started. We are looking
forward to continue working together with everyone to build a better foundation
for the future evolution of Nix.

title = "Announcing Lix 2.91 \"Dragon's&nbsp;Breath\""
author = "Lix Team"
date = "2024-08-12"
+++
We at the Lix team are proud to announce our second major release, version 2.91 "Dragon's Breath".
This release contains unspecified bug fixes and performance improvements—no of course we will tell you what is in it.
> [Dragon's Breath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_Breath_(dessert)) is a frozen dessert made of spheres of cereal frozen in liquid nitrogen
Lix is a Nix implementation focused on reliability, predictability, friendliness, developed by a community of people from around the world.
We have long term plans to incrementally evolve Nix to work in more places, to make it more reliable and secure, and to update the language and semantics to correct past mistakes and reduce errors, all the while providing an amazing tooling experience.
## Upgrading from CppNix or previous Lix versions
The upgrade procedure depends on how you installed Lix or CppNix, and is fully described in the [Lix installation guide][install-guide].
If you are using Lix from nixpkgs on NixOS, you just need to upgrade your nixpkgs once the [upgrade pull request][upgrade-pr] has passed through the build farm into your channel; no other action is required.
The build progress can be checked on the [unofficial pull request tracker].
[upgrade-pr]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/334269
[unofficial pull request tracker]: https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=334269
[install-guide]: https://lix.systems/install/
If you want to help us test the next version of Lix, consider running `main` by following the [beta guide][beta-guide].
## Changes
The general theme of Lix 2.91 is to perform another wave of refactorings and design improvements in preparation for our evolution plans.
Nevertheless, there are a few exciting user facing changes:
- Lix now supports `--log-format multiline` and `--log-format multiline-with-logs` that show current activities in progress, thanks to [kloenk].
The following is a snapshot in time of the output; that is, the activities shown at the bottom are *just* the ones in progress and each disappears after it finishes.

- Hash-mismatch diagnostics now include a guess at the URL based on the derivation fields, thanks to [jade].
The URL may or may not be able to be directly passed to `nix-prefetch-url` to obtain the correct hash, so it is primarily intended just to identify which fixed-output derivation failed.
```
error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/sjfw324j4533lwnpmr5z4icpb85r63ai-x1.drv':

```
- The Nix language pipe operator, [RFC 148](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/148), has been implemented as an experimental feature `pipe-operator` in Lix by [piegames].
As usual with experimental features, the pipe operator is subject to potentially-breaking change as the design evolves.
Here is an impractical example for illustration:
```
nix-repl> 2 |> builtins.mul 5 |> builtins.add 2
12
```
- There is now a setting `build-dir` which allows changing the temporary directory used for builds, thanks to [K900]'s backport of [Robert Hensing] and [Tom Bereknyei]'s implementation in CppNix.
- The environment variables `NOCOLOR`/`NO_COLOR` and `CLICOLOR_FORCE`/`FORCE_COLOR` are heeded in the expected way for all Lix output, thanks to [jade].
Various little annoyances have been fixed:
- `:edit` of a file in the repl does not reload the repl if the file is in the Nix store, since the file is immutable so could not possibly change the evaluation result.
Thanks to [goldstein] for implementing this.
- Lix now respects your consent when you tell it to `accept-flake-config = false` and rejects the flake config instead of asking every time, thanks to [alois31].
- `nix-collect-garbage --dry-run` now actually prints out the paths it was going to delete instead of doing nothing, thanks to [Quantum Jump].
- Due to a bug, `nix copy` to various stores, especially s3, used to be exceptionally slow at querying paths in the remote store, to the tune of Lix releases taking an hour just to figure out what was in the binary cache before uploading the release.
This has now been made `nproc` times faster thanks to [jade] fixing the threading bug.
- The `nix upgrade-nix` logic is finally fixed thanks to [Qyriad] and should correctly handle upgrading from CppNix without workarounds.
Lix now makes various erroneous conditions clearer:
- Unknown flake URI parameters are now [reported as an error](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/174), thanks to [ma27].
```
» nix flake metadata '.?meow=true'
error: unsupported Git input attribute 'meow'
```
- Evaluation errors are clearer:
- The component in an attribute path causing an error is correctly diagnosed, thanks to [Qyriad].
In particular, if an evaluation error occurs when accessing an attribute path `foo.bar.baz`, the error will now point to which of `foo`, `bar`, or `baz` caused the error.
- Errors caused by an explicit `builtins.throw` are diagnosed as such, rather than "while calling the 'throw' builtin", which could equally be because the arguments to `throw` *themselves* threw.
This is now unambiguous thanks to [Qyriad].
- Integer overflow in the Nix language is now considered an evaluation error, thanks to [jade].
This has also been [ported to CppNix](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11188), effectively changing the language definition.
```
» nix eval --expr '9223372036854775807 + 1'
error: integer overflow in adding 9223372036854775807 + 1
```
Fun fact: Lix 2.90 also rejects integer overflow in the Nix language, by aborting the interpreter, due to our strict compiler flags.
The fact that nobody noticed the interpreter crash for months has emboldened us to remove it from the language with confidence.
We have, as usual, made various changes behind the scenes to enable future work:
- The parser has been rewritten using [pegtl] instead of the haunted and legacy GNU Bison, yielding a performance improvement around 5% to Lix evaluation.
This also improves the contributor experience and technical debt by removing many memory leaks and making the parser much easier to deal with as a normal C++ file.
This is all thanks to the hard work of [eldritch horrors].
- Several refactorings have been implemented to improve maintainability, thanks to [Artemis Tosini], [Qyriad], [jade], [alois31], [eldritch horrors], [ma27], [V.] and several others.
- clang-tidy is finally implemented in an enforcing mode in CI, which means that work can be done to add more lints to the enforced list, thanks to [jade].
- Since 2.90, Lix had a custom clang-tidy lint plugin in-tree, and as of 2.91, it is now being run on every change in CI.
As of this release, the first useful custom lint is now operational, requiring that certain already-safe `reinterpret_cast` invocations are replaced with a template wrapper `charptr_cast` that strictly checks its arguments.
This is thanks to [jade].
- Several lints have been added to the hard-fail list and eliminated altogether from the codebase, thanks to [eldritch horrors] and [jade].
- Lix now fully builds and passes its test suite with AddressSanitizer (assuming the garbage collector is disabled, which a helpful error will tell you), thanks to [eldritch horrors] and [jade].
- Boost coroutines, which blocked AddressSanitizer usage, have been completely excised from the codebase by the claws of [eldritch horrors] and replaced with C++ standard stackless coroutines.
- Overall the release process has been simplified and bugs fixed in it thanks to [jade].
The docker image of 2.91 should have a `latest` tag as intended, for example.

We really appreciate having immediate feedback on our work, and the trust of running `main` alongside us means a lot to us.
If you want to run Lix `main` yourself, [see the beta guide][beta-guide] for details.
- Everyone who contributed by filing bugs and giving us feedback on Matrix.
- All the first time contributors who made their first contributions to a Nix implementation in Lix.
We are eternally grateful to everyone who helped us out on the numerous important but tedious issues.
- All the contributors who have helped us with the backlog of bugs.
- The CppNix contributors and CppNix team, without whom we would not have this software, and who wrote some of the improvements ported into this release.
[beta-guide]: https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/lix-beta-guide
Onwards and upwards for the next release.
We look forward to continuing to work together with everyone to build a better foundation for the future evolution of Nix.

title = "Lix installations upgrading to macOS Sequoia require manual repair"
author = "Lix Team"
date = "2024-09-15"
+++
macOS Sequoia release day is almost upon us, and that means all your Lix and Nix installations on macOS are going to break when you upgrade your OS.
Apple claimed some user IDs that are used in the default Nix installation which are then clobbered by the updater, leading to builds failing with the following error:
```
error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist
```
To fix this, you can use the repair functionality of the installer (thanks to cole-h at DetSys for implementing the repair functionality and emilazy for porting it to lix-installer!):
```
curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- repair sequoia
```
If you want to apply the repair before upgrading, add `--move-existing-users` to the end of the command.

HI!!!
The file install.md is generated by update_version.py by
substituting values into install.md.in.
Please don't edit install.md directly!
-->
Whether you're a new or returning user, **we're thrilled you've decided to pick up Lix!**
Lix works out-of-the-box on most Linux and MacOS systems, including with system management tools
such as [home-manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) and
[nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin) -- but, like any Nix-based system, some Nix background
knowledge is recommended before installation.
If you're new to the Nix ecosystem, you may want to check out some [community resources](/resources)
first, to get familiar with how Nix works.
## On NixOS
If you haven't already installed NixOS, do so using any upstream
[install image](https://nixos.org/download/#NixOS) and the instructions in the
[NixOS Manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-installation).
Then, follow the [instructions to add Lix to your
configuration](/add-to-config). Both flake-based and non-flake-based
configurations are fully supported.
## On an Existing `nix-darwin` Install
If you already have a [nix-darwin](https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin) installation, you
can use the same instructions as installing on a NixOS-based system. Follow the instructions
for either:
- [flake-based configurations](/add-to-config#flake-based-configurations); or
- [non-flake configurations](/add-to-config#non-flake-configurations)
depending on how you prefer to configure your system.
## On Any Other Linux/MacOS System
You can either perform a **new install**, or choose to
**upgrade an existing install** to Lix.
### New Installs
The easiest way to install Lix is to use the [Lix Installer](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix-installer)[^1].
Open a terminal, and run the following command:
```sh
curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install
```
The installer will guide you through installing Lix -- and once it's finished,
you'll have a full, working installation. If you're not sure what to do, now is a
great time to check out some of the [community's resources on Nix](/resources).
[^1]: a customized variant of the [Determinate Nix Installer](https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer).
### Existing Installs
If you have an existing Nix installation (either CppNix or Lix), you should be able to upgrade by using a variant
of the `upgrade-nix` command.
Thanks to Nix, we can actually ask Lix to upgrade your system directly. Run the following command:
```sh
sudo --preserve-env=PATH nix run \
--experimental-features "nix-command flakes" \
--extra-substituters https://cache.lix.systems --extra-trusted-public-keys "cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o=" \
'git+https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix?ref=refs/tags/@VERSION_NOTRAIL@' -- \
upgrade-nix \
--extra-substituters https://cache.lix.systems --extra-trusted-public-keys "cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o="
```
You should now have upgraded to Lix! You can verify this by asking the `nix` command
to report its version:
```sh
$ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) @VERSION_NOTRAIL@
```
As long as you see `Lix` in the output, you're good! If you're not sure what to do now, it's a
great time to check out some of the [community's resources on Nix](/resources).
## Having Trouble?
If you're having difficulty installing Lix, don't panic! Hop on over to our
[community page](/community), and check out the various ways to find help.

Emoji can be enabled in a Hugo project in a number of ways.
<!--more-->
The [`emojify`](https://gohugo.io/functions/emojify/) function can be called directly in templates or [Inline Shortcodes](https://gohugo.io/templates/shortcode-templates/#inline-shortcodes).
To enable emoji globally, set `enableEmoji` to `true` in your site's [configuration](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/) and then you can type emoji shorthand codes directly in content files; e.g.
<p><span class="nowrap"><span class="emojify">🙈</span> <code>:see_no_evil:</code></span> <span class="nowrap"><span class="emojify">🙉</span> <code>:hear_no_evil:</code></span> <span class="nowrap"><span class="emojify">🙊</span> <code>:speak_no_evil:</code></span></p>
<br>
The [Emoji cheat sheet](http://www.emoji-cheat-sheet.com/) is a useful reference for emoji shorthand codes.
***
**N.B.** The above steps enable Unicode Standard emoji characters and sequences in Hugo, however the rendering of these glyphs depends on the browser and the platform. To style the emoji you can either use a third party emoji font or a font stack; e.g.
{{< highlight html >}}
.emoji {
font-family: Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, NotoColorEmoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Android Emoji, EmojiSymbols;
}
{{< /highlight >}}
{{< css.inline >}}
<style>
.emojify {
font-family: Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, NotoColorEmoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Android Emoji, EmojiSymbols;
font-size: 2rem;
vertical-align: middle;
}
@media screen and (max-width:650px) {
.nowrap {
display: block;
margin: 25px 0;
}
}
</style>

## Headings
The following HTML `<h1>`—`<h6>` elements represent six levels of section headings. `<h1>` is the highest section level while `<h6>` is the lowest.
# H1
## H2
### H3

## Blockquotes
The blockquote element represents content that is quoted from another source, optionally with a citation which must be within a `footer` or `cite` element, and optionally with in-line changes such as annotations and abbreviations.
#### Blockquote without attribution
> Tiam, ad mint andaepu dandae nostion secatur sequo quae.
> **Note** that you can use *Markdown syntax* within a blockquote.
#### Blockquote with attribution
> Don't communicate by sharing memory, share memory by communicating.<br>

Mathematical notation in a Hugo project can be enabled by using third party JavaScript libraries.
<!--more-->
In this example we will be using [KaTeX](https://katex.org/)
- Create a partial under `/layouts/partials/math.html`
- Within this partial reference the [Auto-render Extension](https://katex.org/docs/autorender.html) or host these scripts locally.
- Include the partial in your templates like so: <br>
```bash
{{ if or .Params.math .Site.Params.math }}
{{ partial "math.html" . }}
{{ end }}
```
- To enable KaTex globally set the parameter `math` to `true` in a project's configuration
- To enable KaTex on a per page basis include the parameter `math: true` in content files
**Note:** Use the online reference of [Supported TeX Functions](https://katex.org/docs/supported.html)
{{< math.inline >}}
{{ if or .Page.Params.math .Site.Params.math }}

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.
