So I have had mixed results with unattended upgrades on Debian based distros. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It turns out that sometimes you need to enable it though dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

well, with stuff like this i meant
dpkg-reconfigure
, since i switched to nixos where configuring and setting up basically means adding/editing a couple of lines in/etc/nixos/configuration.nix
. For automatic system updates for example, i just had to add:system.autoUpgrade.enable = true;
and done. Nicest way to configure and manage a system i’ve experienced yet.Don’t all these edits create huge snapshots or what is called in nixos ?
not really an issue with a few more lines of configuration
nix.gc = { automatic = true; dates = "weekly"; options = "--delete-older-than 30d"; };
Nice!
