I am experienced with Linux, however, I still found it somewhat difficult to install nix-bitcoin. So I wrote this guide. Hopefully it helps you get started with nix-bitcoin even if you have little Linux experience!
Welcome your suggestions for how to improve the guide.

I use NixOS now. It took me a while to install it and figure out what I was doing. I think I'm going to give this a try.
BTW, I never visited your site before. You have some really high quality stuff. The guides are well organized and very well written. I'm really impressed.

Curious why need a virtual machine for a home computer? I use mine at work to get into different OS.
