Nix is a powerful tool for managing software dependencies and reproducible environments. One of the features of Nix is the ability to create and enter interactive shells that provide a specific set of tools and variables for a given project or task. In this post, I will explain what are the different types of Nix shells, how they work, and how to use them effectively.

NixOS is a Linux distribution that is built on the Nix package manager. It allows you to declaratively specify your system configuration in a file called /etc/nixos/configuration.nix and then apply it with a single command. This makes NixOS very reproducible, reliable and customizable.

One of the features that you might want to enable on your NixOS system is Bluetooth support. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to connect various devices such as keyboards, mice, headphones, speakers and more. In this blog post, I will show you how to enable Bluetooth support on NixOS and how to pair and connect your Bluetooth devices.

Nix is a powerful package manager that allows you to build, run, and deploy software in a reproducible and declarative way. However, until recently, Nix had some limitations when it came to managing dependencies, composing projects, and delivering software to users. In this blog post, we will introduce nix flakes, a new experimental feature that aims to solve these problems and improve the usability and composability of Nix.

Nix-shell is a powerful tool that allows you to create reproducible and isolated development environments for any project. In this blog post, I will show you how to use nix-shell to set up a development environment for a Node.js project.

When I was developing a Linux distribution, I had trouble getting it boot on my machine.
