        Not the person you asked but for me:

        It’s because they’re a documentation mess caught in a release/stable discussion that I don’t understand.

        Perhaps that changed in the last year, haven’t looked into them again since then - but unless there’s a trigger (new server setup or official release for example) I simply don’t have the time and energy to invest.

        Because I don’t understand them. Last time I looked, the documentation on flakes was minimal to nonexistent. What documentation I did find was all 3rd party and conflicted with each other.

        Granted, that was a 2ish years ago, but I haven’t needed to change anything major, and nothing has broken. My current setup just works.

          Write a flake.nix

          Most of whatever you have should be simple to include with one line of code.

          Then once you’re using a flake, updates are as simple as “nix flake update” and “nixos-rebuild boot --flake .
