NixOS is really interesting so far
Installing packages is editing a config file and rebuilding the system, then it gives you a mutation to boot from
If the system is unbootable, just pick an older mutation, easy as that...
I feel like I'm gonna be cleaning those up pretty often though lest I have a thousand boot options...
Though being able to basically wipe the slate clean for my system by rolling back to the first mutation is interesting...

@inderix you can control how many you have in configuration.nix (it’s actually recommended or else you will fill your boot partition really fast)

@inderix yeah, for systemd it’s

  # Use the systemd-boot EFI boot loader.
  boot.loader.systemd-boot = {
    enable = true;
    configurationLimit = 5;
  };
