[Request] NixOS pills

[wizzup]

I just finished reading all 20 pills and love them, great work! ❤️

It would be wonderful to have something like these for NixOS.

I second this motion, I would love for there to be something to ease you into nixos modules.

@infinisil since he has the most knowledge on the subject (besides eelco, that I'm aware of :))

There are a few RFCs which need to be accepted before this document can be created/published. The RFC which aims to move away from static ids and the RFC for nix settings are the two that come to mind. I would also suggest we as a community could benefit from a discussion on when/if a user definable dataDir option is justified (as this is a heated topic for some people) before this document is published as well.

I very much welcome such a document as it becomes something to cite when providing PR review.

Yeah there are some things worth discussing still, but there's also many things that could be put into "NixOS pills". I have been wanting to write something like this before, but I always thought I'd do it in the form of blog posts. I'll think about it :)
