+# Filing a Nix issue
+
+*WAIT* Are you sure you're filing your issue in the right repository?
+
+We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about issues you encounter, but routing the issue to the right place will get you help sooner and save everyone time.
+
+This is the Nix repository, and issues here should be about Nix the build and package management *_tool_*.
+
+If you have a problem with a specific package on NixOS or when using Nix, you probably want to file an issue with _nixpkgs_, whose issue tracker is over at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues.
+
+Examples of _Nix_ issues:
+
+- Nix segfaults when I run `nix-build -A blahblah`
+- The Nix language needs a new builtin: `builtins.foobar`
+- Regression in the behavior of `nix-env` in Nix 2.0
+
+Examples of _nixpkgs_ issues:
+
+- glibc is b0rked on aarch64
+- chromium in NixOS doesn't support U2F but google-chrome does!
+- The OpenJDK package on macOS is missing a key component
+
+Chances are if you're a newcomer to the Nix world, you'll probably want the [nixpkgs tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues). It also gets a lot more eyeball traffic so you'll probably get a response a lot more quickly.
