I use NixOS as the Linux distribution on my laptop and home server, and specifically the unstable channel.<\/p>
This is the \"rolling\" version of NixOS that is continuously updated with the newest and latest packages, compared to the stable releases like 24.11 and 25.05 that are released twice a year.<\/p>
I don't necessarily do this to get the latest packages.<\/p>
I do it to keep on top of configuration changes.<\/p>
I run \"nix flake update\" usually once a week to download the latest updates.<\/p>
If there are breaking changes or notices since I last updated, I can address them and do it iteratively rather than waiting to do them every six months.<\/p>
Similar to application deployments, I update early and often<\/a>.<\/p> One of the great things about NixOS is, if there is an application that breaks on the unstable branch, I can pin it to the stable release until it works again.<\/p> This means I get the benefits of both the rolling and stable approaches.<\/p> If you want to see my NixOS configuration, it's publicly available on my Forgejo instance<\/a>.<\/p>",
