 PedroHLC | I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as the NixOS stable branch, is in fact, duplication of efforts that should go into `nixos-unstable`, or as I've recently taken to calling it, the QA mirage.
The stable branch is not a proper, long-term supported component unto itself, but rather a temporary, five-month snapshot of nixos-unstable made functionally useless by the lack of additional tests and the fact that no extra QA is run compared to unstable. All the backporting effort is trashed when the next stable branch is cut from a fresh, future point in nixos-unstable.
Through a peculiar turn of events, the branch widely considered "stable" today is often just called "stable," and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the same system, but one that actively wastes the community's time by forcing them to re-land fixes on a branch that will soon be deprecated. There really is a stable branch, and these people are using it, but it is just a cyclical dead end in the system they use, offering no genuine stability guarantee beyond what `nixos-unstable` already provides.
The stable branch is an essential part of the release cycle, but it only functions as a periodically erased cache that actively pulls resources away from the continuous improvement and actual testing efforts within the `nixos-unstable` core. | 17:04:45 |
| PedroHLC | I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as unstable, is in fact, the best usage of your time, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, the only real branch.
Stable is not a real target unto itself, but rather waste of all maintainers time made to be deleted after five months, it also breaks and don't run any extra testing in Hydra or GitHub.
Many computer users this useless version of the Nixpkgs system every day, without realizing it. | 16:57:28 |

| GALLY | Bem, o guix usa um sistema de graft, onde dá para enxertar um pacote sem precisar recompilar.
O Nixpkgs a princípio tem uma função parecida para isso, mas não é muito usada. | 17:26:16 |

Duvida noob, quando saí alguma correção de bug ou vulnerabilidade em algum programa, as versões fixas do nixos tbm são atualizadas? Backport? Acontece direto. | 17:09:23 |

 Rafael Ieda | Uso unstable desde que comecei a usar NixOS e nunca tive problema. So aconteceram varios build failure quando teve o update do cmake4, mas eu remendei na config ate o fix chegar no unstable e de boa | 22:45:39 |
