I've been running nixos-unstable from the beginning, and this has been a great experience. Being able to roll back and forth in case of trouble has worked out fine, and allowed me to test with newer versions/patches without interfering with regular work. | I've been running nixos-unstable from the beginning, and this has been a great experience.

Overall upgrading is fast because binaries can be loaded from hydra, with the exception of graalvm. If I understand correctly there is good progress on this underway in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/86244 | Overall upgrading is fast because binaries can be loaded from hydra, with the exception of graalvm. | ||
==== building graalvm ==== | |||
building graalvm needs some extra swap on my (32g) machine: | |||
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile count=4096 bs=1MiB | |||
mkswap swapfile | |||
swapon swapfile | |||
If I understand correctly there is good progress on getting this to compile on hydra again underway in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/86244 which depends on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/85902 | |||
