Hello, I was wondering what version (23.05, 22.11, unstable, etc) of nixpkgs you use. I personally use unstable, and it’s never broken.

Edit: I also have a master input in my flake, which I added just for XIVLauncher (context: someone made a PR to fix it not building, and it got merged into master, but last time I checked it wasn’t backported to unstable)

    I use a fork (with some stuff I haven’t cleaned up enough to PR) that I rebase on master whenever I decide to upgrade, because I like maximum pain.

    Although honestly it’s still really stable. When something breaks, it’s usually easy to bisect and fix.

      You basically use master? Holy sh*t dude, good luck with that.

      If you just want to have some packages that aren’t in nixpkgs, then why not just create a custom flake?

        I find it very easy to bisect and fix problems in nixpkgs, and it seems like a good way to contribute. I can do upgrades whenever I feel like it, and it’s trivial to roll back, so it’s never blocking me when I need to get other work done.
