Pretty much yes, I also switched from Arch and this works great for me.
I only had issues a couple times with broken packages, then you can either not update at all or remove those packages. It should also be possible to keep the older version of those packages in the nix config but I did not look into it.
- unsungNovelty 5y agoThank you for confirming tracnar. I really appreciate it. But if possible can you also elaborate on "pretty much" yes part? What is the catch or what am I missing?
- pxc 5y agoYeah, there are a few ways to do this. See the section on 'Pinning an unstable service' for an example of how to pull in just one package or service from another release: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/FAQ/Pinning_Nixpkgs https://nixos.wiki/wiki/FAQ/Pinning_Nixpkgs
