The NixOS 24.11 distribution has been released, based on the Nix package manager and providing a range of its own developments that simplify the configuration and maintenance of the system. For example, in NixOS, all system configuration is done through a single system configuration file (configuration.nix), enabling quick rollbacks to a previous configuration version, support for switching between different system states, the installation of individual packages by different users, the simultaneous use of multiple versions of a program, and ensuring reproducible builds. Installation images with KDE (3.2 GB) and GNOME (2.5 GB) have been prepared for x86_64 and ARM64 architectures, along with a minimal console version (1.1 GB). <\/p>\n
When using Nix, the build result of packages is stored in a separate subdirectory in \/nix\/store. For example, after building, the firefox package may be written to \/nix\/store\/1onlv5pc3ed6n5nskg8ew4twcfd0d5ae4ec5d4-firefox-133.0.0\/, where \"1onlv5pc3ed6n5nskg8ew4twcfd0d5ae4ec5d4\" is the hash of all its dependencies and build instructions. Installing a package refers to either building it or downloading a pre-built one (provided it was already built on Hydra \u2014 the build service for the NixOS project), as well as creating a directory with symbolic links to all packages in the system or user profile, then adding this directory to the PATH list. A similar approach is employed in the GNU Guix package manager, which is based on Nix's developments. The collection of packages is presented in a special repository called Nixpkgs. <\/p>\n
Key innovations: <\/p>\n
\n
A total of 8141 packages have been added, 3970 packages removed, and 20975 packages updated. 119 new modules have been added, and 30 modules removed. The development and maintenance of packages involved 2669 developers who prepared 49079 changes. <\/li>\n
Custom environment releases for KDE Plasma 6.2 and GNOME 47 have been proposed. The composition includes a compositor server<\/a> Niri, which uses Wayland.\n
