# How dos Nix generate configuration files, and then put them in the nix store? It looks like you can't directly overwrite a configuration file generated by nix, and you have to configure it through nix. I have been using linux for a pretty long time now and, to me, NixOS is an excellent concept because I think it solves a problem that not many people have. How often people are redoing their systems from scratch is the thing I like to address here. The steep learning curve means that you need to figure extra months of training for every person hired to work on it. Packages are kept in one massive folder and symlinked out. This means that no software is going to have it's files and libraries in the place you would expect. ##### Post Metadata - Net upvotes: 1
