NixOS 25.11 “Xantusia”现已发布，为这个独特的Linux发行版及其软件包管理器Nixpkgs带来更新。此版本将获得错误和安全修复，直至2026年6月30日，而之前的版本25.05 “Warbler”将于2025年12月31日停止维护。由2742名贡献者在59430次提交中构建，Nixpkgs拥有7002个新软件包，25252个更新软件包，以及6338个过时软件包的移除。NixOS本身新增了107个配置模块和1778个选项，并移除了过时的组件。主要亮点包括升级到GNOME 49 (“Brescia”)，该版本放弃了X11会话支持，以及对LLVM 21、GCC 14和CMake 4等基本开发工具的更新。发布团队对众多个人和团队为此次成功发布所做的贡献表示感谢，并期待NixOS 26.05 “Yarara”。

## NixOS 25.11 发布与 macOS 用户疑虑最新的 NixOS 25.11 发布在 Hacker News 上引发了讨论，尤其关于其在 macOS 上的可用性。一位用户表示，使用 Nix 管理 macOS 设置 18 个月后，感受复杂。虽然承认 Nix 的强大功能和回滚能力，但他质疑 Nix 是否适合 macOS，原因在于 `nix-darwin` 和 `nixpkgs` 之间频繁出现同步问题。他发现自己越来越依赖 `nix-homebrew`——本质上是重新创建 Brewfile，这让他怀疑直接使用 Brewfile 是否更简单。这位用户最终难以向他人，甚至自己，证明 Nix 的复杂性，当更简单的替代方案似乎能达到类似的结果时。他强调了像 `mise` 这样的工具，作为不太武断的替代方案，可能更具吸引力。
