I'm new to nix, but I really went full beans on it: installed NixOS on my daily and I'm using nix-shell for some projects and yesterday I learned how nix docker images work.

I was actively avoiding flakes because I try never to use unstable/experimental features until they are stabilised so I can rely on them.

Thing is, they seem to be ubiquitous. Their reason to exist makes sense to me and I think I should learn how to use them to fully take advantage of the ecosystem.

My question: is it fairly safe to assume nix flakes won't suddenly break on me? is there any known roadmap to flakes stabilisation?

I also remember one time when one of our non-tech-savvy teachers almost lost it when her mouse pointer was out of control.

Thing is, that was around the time when wireless mice with usb dongles came up.

One of my classmates connected one on her pc and played with it in class.

Good times.

Situation: once in middle school, we had to present something for a class (don’t remember which one) with power point slides

In those days, you had to bring the presentation in an usb pendrive.

For some reason, most of the class didn’t finish it.

I disabled usb ports from device manager.

Saved the day.
