# Introduction
DevOS grants a simple way to use, deploy and manage [NixOS][nixos] systems for
personal and productive use. It does this by providing a convenient repository
structure; integrating several popular projects like
[home-manager][home-manager], and [devshell][devshell].
Skip the indeterminate nature of other systems, _and_ the perceived difficulty
of Nix. It's easier than you think!
## Getting Started
Check out the [guide](https://devos.divnix.com/doc/start) to get up and running.
## In the Wild
You author maintains his own branch, so you can take inspiration, direction, or
make critical comments about my bad [code][please]. 😜
## Motivation
NixOS provides an amazing abstraction to manage our environment, but that new
power can sometimes bring feelings of overwhelm and confusion. Having a turing
complete system can easily lead to unlimited complexity if we do it wrong.
Instead, we should have a community consensus on how to manage a NixOS system.
## Upstream
I'd love to see this in the nix-community should anyone believe its reached a
point of maturity to be generally useful, but I'm all for waiting until
1.0[#121](https://github.com/divnix/devos/issues/121) to save the cache work,
too.
___The future is declarative! 🎉___
## Community Profiles
There are two branches from which to choose: [core][core] and
[community][community]. The community branch builds on core and includes
several ready-made profiles for discretionary use.
Every package and NixOS profile declared in community is uploaded to
[cachix](./cachix), so everything provided is available without building
anything. This is especially useful for the packages that are
[overridden](./overrides) from master, as without the cache, rebuilds are
quite frequent.
