In Arch if I needed something updated today you would have done
> pacman -Sy
> pacman -S package_name
Leavig the rest system unchanged
In Nixos
> nix-channel --update
> Add package to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
> nixos-rebuild switch
Which would update everything
Maybe we could do
> nix-channel --update
> nix-env -iA packagename
But I am not sure which version would be installed. And it would definitely go against the purpose of using nixos
> nix-shell -p package_name
It is also quite cool for trying packages without installing permanently
