[Nix-dev] experience packager or coder to help me with cinnamon

[Domen Kožar]

I'd also recommend taking it slow - cinnamon is a big beast to package. Nix
has a steep learning curve and you should take that seriously.

Learning basics of Nix through usage and then pairing up with someone are
the steps I would recommend.

Good luck, Domen
