Post #3164049

@Edent@mastodon.social I'm assuming you're probably using NixOS closer to the original standard - using stable channel and without using flakes - as far as I am aware, unless you are explicitly telling NixOS to update, it shouldn't pull package updates on its own and running niixos-rebuild switch should just build based on what you have, unless you added a change that requires something new to be downloaded. So avoid running 'nix-channel --update' and avoid running nixos-rebuild switch with the --update flag and you should be okay according to https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Updating_NixOS. (I haven't run with the standard setup since I started on NixOS so I'm not fully sure of how that works anymore, I was only on it for about an hour at the very very start of my journey on NixOS a year or so ago.) Good luck, let us know how it goes.
