Hello Aux! Introductions

Hi auxolotls!

My name is Shom. I’m not new to Linux but new to declarative Linux, I started creating a Nix configuration a month ago and am really excited about the technology and have been closely and eagerly following the establishment of Aux on mastodon first and then since day 1 of the forum. But since I literally have no experience except for a bare bones config that I’m running in a VM, I didn’t know if/how/what to get involved with.

However, with the first unstable release I realized that my complete lack of experience can actually be helpful by reporting back as a new user getting started with auxolotl (alright, the name change from aux to auxolotl is what really sealed the deal).

I plan to convert my dotfiles (currently on 23.11 with flakes) to point to auxolotl tomorrow and start engaging with the great community being built here. Please steer me where my enthusiasm is going to be most helpful.

Cheers!
