    It’s mostly the difference between:

    “Wanting to resolve all your discrepancies at once”

    Or,

    “Gradually, as they roll out”

    Stable is less work for sure, but it just means having to do everything at once.

    You just need to remember to update your channel in your flake every six months and then set your options as they rotate.

    Oh lol. You’re not on unstable?

    That explains why you’ve not had any issues lol.

    Changing channels every six months is a dice roll - sometimes fine, other times shit breaks.

    Depends how complex your system is I suppose, but the major releases are always the most work if youre pinning versions.

    NixOS is fucking GOATed lol. I can’t imagine a business managing a fleet which isn’t based on NixOS - what a fucking nightmare lol.

    How long have you been using it for? Because you will certainly run into complications eventually, as options change, packages become depreciated, and others get marked as unsafe.

    I’ve been using NixOS for the past 4 years.

    I started a business with the mission statement to replace local business machines with a windows-like platform, based on NixOS.

    I can say with confidence that the maintenance does not become much less of an issue, but it certainly becomes more transparent.











  • Actually, I wasnt thinking clearly, it was the guy who lifted the corner up with his fucking hands (and then got his hands trapped) who frantically yelled at me to grab the suction grip.

    When I couldn’t lift it, I was running around the factory looking for something to wedge under the glass before it split.

    Eventually I found a steel pole and rolled it underneath before my workmate lost his fingers.

    Also, the moron who got his foot crushed wasn’t wearing steel caps, despite them being mandatory.

    I think I still have some unresolved PTSD from that day lol.
