No, it's also for your system to use locked versions of deps, so if you git clone you get a flakes.lock
as well with all the versions. When you install from a git repo you get the same system again

Is it, though?
https://repology.org/repositories/statistics/nonunique
Nonunique means other package managers have it, so it excludes those you said that inflate the user count
You can combine stable and unstable packages since they can have different dependencies
Given this you can have the base system be running the unstable versions, while holding back things like wine from upgrading
That is not true, since not annoying your users can mean a long time profitability
Why? If it's installing singing in the background it's not stopping me from doing my work
I dispute the needlessly part. NixOS unstable has very new packages, do you're getting some fresh updates before some other packaging systems.
Is it less "efficient" than waiting for major versions? Of course. But I'm willing to run an update in the background on my desktop to get that new software.
I think the verdict is NixOS is perfect for desktops, since you probably don't care about data or compiling everything or slight inefficiencies
It's just stolen from Telegram anyway
