# Design and Data Model

Most of the manual is about how to use Nix.
This chapter is about what Nix actually is.
The hope is that it can serve as a reference for key concepts, and also shed light on why things are the way they are.
WIP: Document the design of Nix The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why are things the way they are". I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people currently turn to the thesis for. I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues. 2020-11-24 15:38:12 +02:00			`# Design and Data Model`
