You should say “unstable channel”. It’s literally just a rolling release that pulls from the nixpkgs
master branch. So it’s only as stable as it needs to be to pass the Hydra CI tests.
And if you get to a working version, you can pin that as a Nix flake to avoid anything breaking until the next time you nix flake update
.
How Linux Fanboys see Linux:
It’s so ironic how many downvotes this is getting in the context of this thread.
This reminds me of the apparent gnome-keyring security hole. It’s mentioned in the first section of the arch wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring
Any application can read keyring entries of the other apps. So it’s pretty trivial to make a targeted attack on someone’s account if you can get them to run an executable on their machine.
There’s also the Wayblue family of Wayland distros, based on Ublue.
It’s hard to say for certain whether a distro will work for your hardware, even the Nvidia-specific images can have bugs related to the Nvidia drivers or their interaction with compositors.
I’ve used NixOS for a year.
I also tried Fedora Sway Atomic for a week or so. It mostly worked well, but I eventually found that it’s really hard to use Nix for development on a graphics application, because linking with the system Vulkan drivers is near impossible. The loader used by Nix’s glibc will ignore FHS locations. That seems to rule out a lot of the benefits of using Nix.
So I gave up on using Nix + Fedora as a failed experiment and went back to NixOS.
My wish list for Nix, Wayland, and Sway is pretty long. I kinda wish I had the time to make a new distro.
But quiche is tasty!

There’s no reason for this function to exist. Can you see why?
Awwwww there goes that plan.
Did y’all know that microwaves aren’t magic and you need to mix your food?
This chart would be more readable if the corruption perception index were explained by having the polarity of the scale labeled. I.e. is green “corrupt” or not?
By following the source link, it looks like green = “clean” and gray = “corrupt”.
It’s almost like these languages were designed to solve different problems.
Wow. I would love to here from the mods how my comment was breaking the rules of a memes community.
You don’t know me.
What? That’s just not a good comparison.
People don’t shoot up drugs in a roll of toilet paper.
People pee on the sidewalk regardless of whether public restrooms exist.
We have other problems to fix before we can safely bring back free public restrooms.
