NixOS Tapir 23.11 just released! - eviltoast

A key thing to note:
Updating with nixos-rebuild boot and rebooting is recommended, since in some rare cases the nixos-rebuild switch into the new generation on a live system might fail due to missing mount units.


Also I’m not sure if this is the beta release as Package Search currently(as of 3:22am) displays channel option: “23.11 Beta” (this might get updated soon who knows)


Other notable things that I’ve seen in the release notes:

  • sudo-rs is now supported
  • btrfs now can be auto resized
  • NetworkManager now uses nftables backend unconditionally
  • new service options for SearXNG “for better support”
  • new option for QEMU for enabling “specifying explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs”
  • “virt-manager, an UI for managing virtual machines in libvirt, is now available as programs.virt-manager.”
    • (this one’s gonna be interesting for my config as I currently have it installed as a package, I’m gonna guess it’s probably fine)
  • fail2ban configuration with attribute sets
  • “New boot.bcache.enable (default enabled) allows completely removing bcache mount support.”

Either way I’d def recommend checking out their announcement and releases page for more details~
Thanks to the devs for making an awesone distro!🤗🎉
