> You can have a stable OS version but still have rolling packages. Somehow most Linux distros can't manage that.

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-25.05";
    nixpkgs-unstable.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"

I said 'most' :) and it goes for most of the mainstream distros. I wouldn't consider nix that, due to the complex configuration. As a corporate admin I do like declarative management at work but for home no. Even though FreeBSD has some aspects of it (you can turn stuff on and off in rc.conf)
