It’s dangerous to go rolling. Take this
Nix os snapshots
That’s just save scumming, which is another form of cheating!
Great, now you have crusaders.
nixos generations have saved my ass way more than I’m willing to admit.
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)
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.
Rolling is not for the faint of heart; hell openSUSE Tumbleweed is certainly an update everyday (though they have fairly stable pushes). I really love Solus because they have a designated day of the week when they update and perform tests before pushing their updates out!
Tumble me weeds hasn’t borked my main rigs or ‘family & friends’ puters in like 5 years. So overall I had less work compared to updating all them Debians once or twice in the same period.
(Oh, no wait, I did have one smol issue with a KDE widget or something like that.)
Also every rolling-release is a semi-rolling-release if you update once weekly or even monthly.
