List of companies using Nix

For anyone else trying to download the NixOS ISO from the website, they don&#x27;t offer torrent downloads and the connection keeps dropping (for me, at least), I eventually got an intact copy.<p>magnet:?xt=urn:btih:071B7CBA20B94E5FDC4DAD397DE98D3A05276536<p>SHA-256 can be verified from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nixos.org&#x2F;nixos&#x2F;download.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nixos.org&#x2F;nixos&#x2F;download.html</a>

Apparently there is company switching from using Gentoo to NixOS. Gentoo seems a bit of a weird fit for production, unless you can compile packages on another server and deploy them (last time I used it was 10 years ago so I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s a thing).

If someone wants to try NixOS on their VPS there is nixos in place [0], which basically &quot;converts&quot; a Linux to NixOS.<p>&quot;nixos-in-place is known to work on Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, Arch, and Slackware, including x86 and x86_64 variants, with and without LVM, including systems on Digital Ocean droplets&quot;<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeaye&#x2F;nixos-in-place" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jeaye&#x2F;nixos-in-place</a>

I&#x27;ve keep meaning to try out nixos for a long time, does anyone know of any ~$5 VPS&#x27;s that have it as a default option?

One of our senior engineers spoke at Nix OS Conf 2015, which we also sponsored. He touches on what we do, and a few things he&#x27;s doing with it, then gives a tech talk.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;7QGYOq8U9E0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;7QGYOq8U9E0</a><p>Nic can be very helpful at lots of things. If you&#x27;re interested in Nix or us, email me (in profile).

So, what&#x27;s the best way to learn the Nix language? Are there any tutorials that stand out, or is the official manual the way to go?
