1212+DevOS grants a simple template to use, deploy and manage [NixOS][nixos] systems
1313+for personal and productive use. A sane repository structure is provided,
1414integrating several popular projects like [home-manager][home-manager],
1515[devshell][devshell], and [more](./doc/integrations).
1616···2121Skip the indeterminate nature of other systems, _and_ the perceived
2222tedium of bootstrapping Nix. It's easier than you think!
23232424-### Status: Alpha
2525-A lot of the implementation is less than perfect, and huge
2626-[redesigns](https://github.com/divnix/devos/issues/152) _will_ happen. There
2727-are unstable versions (0._x_._x_) to help users keep track of changes and
2828-progress.
2424+### Status: Beta
2525+Although this project has already matured quite a bit, especially through
2626+recent outfactoring of [`digga`][digga], a fair amount of api polishing is still
2727+expected. There are unstable versions (0._x_._x_) to help users keep track
2828+of changes and progress.
29293030## Getting Started
3131Check out the [guide](https://devos.divnix.com/start) to get up and running.
3232+Also, have a look at [_flake.nix_][toc]. If anything is not immediately
3333+discoverable from there through [`digga`][digga] library's [`mkFlake`][mk-flake],
3434+please file a bug report.

3437The author maintains his own branch, so you can take inspiration, direction, or
···4245and its satellite projects, from which best practices can evolve.

4545-4646-## Upstream
4747-I'd love to see this in the nix-community should anyone believe its reached a
4848-point of maturity to be generally useful, but I'm all for waiting until
4949-1.0[#121](https://github.com/divnix/devos/issues/121) to save the cache work,
5050-too.
51485249## Community Profiles
5350There are two branches from which to choose: [core][core] and
···6057[overridden](./concepts/overrides.md) from master, as without the cache,
6158rebuilds are quite frequent.

69828383+## Divnix
8484+The divnix org is an open space that spontaniously formed out of "the Nix".
8585+It is really just a place where otherwise unrelated people a) get
8686+together and b) stuff done.
8787+8888+It's a place to stop "geeking out in isolation" (or within company boundaries),
8989+experiment and learn together and iterate quickly on best practices. That's what it is.
9090+9191+It might eventually become a non-profit if that's not too complicated or if those
9292+goals are sufficiently upstreamed into "the Nix", dissolved.
