Can you imagine taking someone from MacOS and giving them NixOS?

user: Great, June 2026, Upgrade time! What do I click on?

NixFriend: Umm, sorry you’re going to need to open your terminal and change your nix-channels to https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-26.06 and you’re going to need to do it under sudo.

user: umm, ok, now i’m upgraded?

NixFriend: no, not quite, you need nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade

user: ohh jeeze, ok. umm, i got an error, a couple hundred lines it’s kind of vague about a bunch of functions failing

NixFriend: Go back up 70-80 lines and see if it calls out a certain package being a problem, just ignore all the messages about variables not being set.

user: ohh wow, yeah, ok, something about pinentry and specifying ncurses and some messages about name deprecation

NixFriend: ohh yeah ok, that’s pretty easy, go edit these text files, change all the names if mentions and either remove pinentry or just make or leave in pinentry-ncurses

user: Ohh ok; Now it’s complaing that /boot is full

Next: Stop using computers
