    Around half a year based off my commits which in retrospect is a short amount of time. It took me off guard because it felt like around a year before checking. Probably because of the steep learning curve that put me through a lot in a short amount of time. Lol

    I guess I will have my coming of age ceremony when I will bother doing my first major nixos update since I haven’t bothered doing one yet as I haven’t felt the need to warrant spending the time on it. ❄️

      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.

        Oh lol. You’re not on unstable?

        Uh oh. I thought it’s a common practice to use stable by default and unstable where needed for stability. Is this less common than I thought?

          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.
