A4 paper in color

Letter paper in "grayscale/bw"

Note: There is no official NixOS logo that is monochromatic and dark (only white) so the colored version is used. This isn't a big deal as the primary purpose of the grayscale version is to remove the background color from the boxes to save ink.

Wanted to let you know I used the header.svg that you submitted to the artwork repo as the background for the cheat sheet. :)

Of course! <3

A really nice cheatsheet!

It would probably be nice if grid lined up with logo, and filled the page completely.

Here's a quick draft of something I did in the train this morning... took me less than 30 min:

https://typst.app/project/rAN-7MckqNuneSf0955nE4

I couldn't reproduce the nice box borders, I guess it would require a bit more time to do that.

I'm pretty sure that the footprint to build this document using Typst is much smaller than with LaTeX.

This is already a fantastic start!

This is really nice! I have very few suggestions:

• You could add a doc comment (/** */) and perhaps sacrifice the general multiline comment to keep the brevity.

• In bind set arguments, maybe show that defaults are not included, e.g.

  let
    f = args@{ x, y ? true }:
        assert y; builtins.attrNames args;
  in
    f { x = 1; }   # => returns ["x"]

• Use args@ from the formatting RFC; probably has more suggestions. Run the new nixfmt?

purpose of the grayscale version is to remove the background color from the boxes to save ink.

Maybe call it "print" instead of grayscale? Achieving actual full grayscale is easy in print settings; otherwise I think a colored logo is nice.

I wouldn't bind an attribute set to the symbol set in didactic material. Ppl. just learning nix might think it's some magic keyword or something.
