So far, that's exactly why I've stopped at Nix.

Everything is declared exactly how I want it. If something would break, it just bails on the update. If I want to set up a new machine, I just clone my config and build it.

I'm not sure what could be more "just works" than that.

    When I went 24.11 it exploded in some fantastic manner. None of my boot menu rollbacks worked. I spent a long ass time trying to recover the upgrade. I eventually realized it would be a lot faster to wipe, reinstall, re-import my old home and configuration.nix and I was back up.

    25.05 didn't even flinch, just worked.

    Now I'm patiently waiting for postmarket to sort out LTE modems on phones before I buy an old pixel and install nixos on it :)
