I thought about doing that but updating nixos confuses me. Does nixos-rebuild switch pull new packages? To my understanding there is a file that saves all currently installed versions of packages and switch only adds new things but wouldn’t update packages.

Like, if I want to update Google Chrome. Doing switch wouldn’t change anything if the config hasn’t changed, right?

Have a good guide on cleanup? 👀

What is this experimental tool called so I can read more about it?

That makes a lot of sense. I can setup their computer with nixos and stuff that needs to be updated regularly (like a web browser) can be flatpak which should be more stable too.

Then flatpak update would get them updated without rebuilding the whole OS.

My grandparents have been rocking Linux Mint for a few years. I have managed Chrome through Flatpak since I discovered that was possible on Mint. I’ve been flirting with the idea of having NixOS instead so I don’t have to remember what I’ve configured in the past. I’m not 100% sure now though :-P

Oh cool. My grandparents don’t have any idea that scrolling text isn’t normal on startup. Neat project though!

Yeah, I’ve been switched to using Jellyfin anyways. I hope they can do this successfully. They haven’t been the best for a while anyways…

It’s worth donating if you have the means to. I paid for a lifetime Plex subscription. So, I felt uncomfortable not donating to Jellyfin. They take donations on open collective.

How do you “give copyright” to them?

Yeah, macos is pretty based. I don’t own a Mac product but I have and they were great.

If you like America’s Test Kitchen and also tools (maybe a stretch, I know). You’ll like Project Farm.

What if I just want to upgrade some packages? Like not change channel, but Firefox needs an update? I’m not op and don’t use flakes btw

lambda,

There’s no command to just update all packages without changing the nixos version?

lambda,
@lambda@programming.dev avatar

Is that the equivalent to apt update and apt upgrade? I don’t want to apt dist-upgrade lol

lambda,

I think I thought unstable would mean, well, unstable. Like nightly releases or something. Would you use unstable for Firefox?

lambda,
@lambda@programming.dev avatar

Thanks. I’ve done switch many times after editing my config file. I’ve never added --upgrade!

lambda,

Thanks, I already read it :P

I always flush with the lid down. Keeps less in the air.

Yes, I subscribe to a few on Open Collective.
