    NixOS lets you update just what you want, when you want, and it even lets you roll them back at any time.

    I update every single day AND my computer always works.

      Maybe this is due to my flake setup, but the way I currently update (nix flake update, then nixos-rebuild) I can only update everything at once. At times, this can feel clunky compared to e.g. arch which lets me update individual packages. Do you have any suggestions on how to do partial updates?

      The best part is I can let the terminal run in background and continue working on my stuff without having to wait or restart
