Something that isn't stated in this thread yet is how easy NixOS makes version upgrades. I maintain multiple pet servers. When I used Ubuntu, doing release upgrades cost me ~6 hours per server per upgrade every 2 years. Most of that ti

I think that's outdated information in many regards. Most apps seem to have turned off the SafetyNet requirement; I suspect that may be due to a larger amount of Chinese Android phones that don't have it. I'm using a Play-Sto
