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.

Thank you so much for the guide! I've already listened good things about nix. What are some of the benifit of Mix?

pros of nix bitcoin node: security configuration in one place configuration easy to update/rollback
cons of nix bitcoin node: command line based, so not point and click beginner friendly
