When I searched it up, it made sense that the small channel was more updated. It’s like the non-small channel is slightly less updated but the binaries are already built for you in the cache, wherein the small release, the packages are more updated but some of the packages are supposed to be built from source so updates might take a longer time. Correct me if I’m wrong though.
Well, I was more impatient. I’m on 24.05 :P
Jk. Although, It was just amazing that even Nix’s channels work nothing like I have ever used. I have been using NixOS for just 3 months now and every now and then I discover something astonishing about it.
