elikoga | I would not recommend using the unstable branch unless you are testing the unstable branch or planning to fix it if something breaks on your system | 14:34:20 |
laauurraa | Hmm, many people kept recommending to just use unstable rather than stable | 14:34:38 |
laauurraa | I'll switch to stable then, I mean.. | 14:34:45 |
elikoga | Who is many people? | 14:34:48 |
laauurraa | Makes more sense to me | 14:34:49 |
laauurraa | People on Reddit | 14:34:54 |
laauurraa | but I think this community is a bit more professional and technical | 14:35:02 |
elikoga | While it can sometimes have advantages using packages from unstable or even master
Don't do it if you don't know hot to handle it? | 14:35:23 |

laauurraa | Eh, I would know how to workaround this issue, it's more just that I didn't expect it | 14:35:49 |
laauurraa | Like I said, I often doubt myself rather than the packages when it comes to Nix | 14:35:56 |
elikoga | In stable I'd agree, in unstable it's anyone's guess where problems usually are | 14:36:26 |
laauurraa | Fair enough, that makes sense | 14:36:34 |
laauurraa | I'll downgrade to stable then, I can always specify that I want a specific package from unstable if it's important | 14:37:00 |
elikoga | Nevermind, it shouldn't:
It's already reported https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/389978
And solved https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/390243
Which is already in master | 14:39:31 |
laauurraa | Fair enough, thanks for your help | 14:40:40 |
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 |
