After spending some time on NixOS I basically decided to hold off until flakes become official and the docs are written with them in mind. In the mean time I just run Arch with Nix home-manager and I'm happy.
I've developed enough good habits over the years that I don't get breakages, and home-manager allows me to easily sync my dotfiles across machines..

- yoyohello13 2y agoSorry I was unclear. I’m using flakes, but I don’t want to commit to using NixOS proper until flakes actually get blessed as ready for prod. And yes I know everyone says they are, but I won’t be convinced until the experimental flag comes off.

- nrabulinski 2y agoIf you’re afraid of the experimental status, there are plethora of pinning solutions other than flakes which work with NixOS today and will continue working until roughly the end of time
