That's the good thing, there are many who have made good tutorials on Youtube and other media. If it weren't for that, many would not be encouraged to try it.

I'm sure you're right. For me the documentation was useless. I found a really good, detailed youtube video that helped me immensely. A lot of pausing and copying off the screen.

Dumbest Tech Mistakes?

The thing is that with NixOS everything is done declaratively in the configuration files. You could say that nothing you may have learned about Linux will be of any use to you. That is its strong point but also its weak point, the documentation is not very clear and many in the forums recommend not using it because it is a bit outdated, a project with outdated documentation is a headache. I know that this type of system is the future, immutable systems are here to stay and NixOS contributes a lot. For the moment I continue with my traditional Debian 12 system using BTRFS as a file system and enjoying its stability.
