You can combine stable and unstable packages since they can have different dependencies

Given this you can have the base system be running the unstable versions, while holding back things like wine from upgrading

No, it's also for your system to use locked versions of deps, so if you git clone you get a flakes.lock as well with all the versions. When you install from a git repo you get the same system again

That is not true, since not annoying your users can mean a long time profitability

I joined two of them and they both went down

It's just stolen from Telegram anyway

Is it, though?

Nonunique means other package managers have it, so it excludes those you said that inflate the user count

The individuals in question are not Neo-Nazis

Yes, you get the same version of deps and the actual software too. For example, wine breaks my game from time to time, but if I got clone my setup I will get the exact version of wine that I use that works, not the latest unstable version

I mean, I could write a server that redirects the notifications pushed to me and read the actual posts on the instances themselves

You cannot target Russian DNA. For starters, it's very similar to Ukrainian DNA...

Why? If it's installing singing in the background it's not stopping me from doing my work

I dispute the needlessly part. NixOS unstable has very new packages, do you're getting some fresh updates before some other packaging systems.

Is it less "efficient" than waiting for major versions? Of course. But I'm willing to run an update in the background on my desktop to get that new software.

When? Give me examples

Yes, I now understand I need to have a server listening for the notifications being pushed to me

I think the verdict is NixOS is perfect for desktops, since you probably don't care about data or compiling everything or slight inefficiencies

Why does there have to be an instance there? Who checks that?

I'm a web developer, so...
