- Dotfiles: In the Unix universe, programs are commonly configured in two different ways, via shell arguments or text based configuration files. Programs with many options like Window Managers or text editors are configured on a per-user basis with files in your home directory ~. In Unix like OS any file or directory name that starts with a period is considered hidden, and in a default view will not be displayed. Thus the name dotfiles.
- Nix: It's a packaging and build system, the configuration files of which, are written with the help of Nix Expression Language.
- NixOS: A GNU/ Linux distribution based on Nix.
- Nix Expression Language: A programming language designed per the functional programming paradigm. Used to write instructions for the Nix packaging system and isn't a general-purpose programming language.
