Second-best ever. 25.05 was seamless.
I only needed to screw with mesa, pinentry, vim-full, and unpin my kernel for v4l which is now fixed in OBS
I'm preparing to break out my configurations so that all my machines can share parts of them and maybe see if I can get my home .confgs a little more managed under home manager.
How was yours?
Pretty well. I did have to create an "old-nixpkgs" variable for some of my packages (deadbeef is currently broken in 25.11 and warsow was removed). Rebuilt my configs on my work laptop, gaming desktop, and 1 of my servers without a hitch. Will wait on my DB server until my next offsite backup just in case...
Wow, thank you for this comment! I was pondering maybe setting up a trial for NixOS at work, but now I see we just don't have the manpower to handle that.
Nope. I was thinking of doing an immutable server with it because that would be neat AF.
But the updates are deprecated way too soon. You really need to take the latest milestones really close to when they happen.
I run it myself at work for a couple of years now, but I wouldn't want to support the userland on it, even the technically competent ones.
This is real sad news. I was hoping it would allow for a "Intune-like" experience for people, where they'd just download the configs dynamically as needed.
give em time, given they're not young by any standard, but they are starting to gain traction which should help bring about advances.
