 laauurraa | I successfully downgraded to 24.11 stable :)
Despite the weird edge cases sometimes, Nix really does have the amazing benefit of being incredibly easy to control | 15:41:07 |

Despite the weird edge cases sometimes, Nix really does have the amazing benefit of being incredibly easy to control in this manner | 15:41:09 |
| laauurraa | and zotero launches now :D | 15:41:14 |
 emily | FWIW, already fixed in master means it should work on unstable in a few days | 15:45:25 |
| emily | also, I think running unstable is fine. packages will break more often, but it gets automated testing before every bump and stable doesn't get that much maintenance | 15:45:56 |
| emily | as in, I think the warning is a little overblown. many people do run unstable exclusively, me included | 15:46:19 |
| emily | it's a matter of what you prefer, of course (stale packages vs. packages having issues more often), but it's closer to the Arch rolling-release end of things than running Debian experimental or whatever | 15:46:53 |
| laauurraa | What makes it so that zotero not being runnable on NixOS wasn't caught by CI? Because I thought the same thing as you're saying now, that nixos-unstable is tested as it is updated | 15:47:53 |
| laauurraa | I thought running the software you attempt to build would be the minimal test, right? Or is that just different per-package? | 15:48:15 |
 elikoga | The minimal test is wether the package builds at all
Running is not trivial. Zotero for example expects a graphical environment(?) | 15:48:54 |
| emily | only a subset of things block the channel from advancing | 15:49:04 |
