So far they only messed me up. I was ricing my grub, messed up, and put systemd boot alongside grub boot. It panicked and put new generations on systemd boot, and grub as bootloader. This lead me into booting back into an older generation instead of the latest one
I do like having them tho. Just never encountered a problem warranting a revert (and I hope I won’t)
It’s dangerous to go rolling. Take this
Nix os snapshots
Great, now you have crusaders.
nixos generations have saved my ass way more than I’m willing to admit.

I switched from gnome to a TWM yesterday and I did it wrong and stuff went wonky. Booted into the previous Gen and all good.
That’s just save scumming, which is another form of cheating!
