NixOS 25.05

NixOS is an independently-developed GNU/Linux distribution that aims to improve the state of the art in system configuration management. The distribution's latest release is version 25.05 "Warbler" which will be supported until the end of 2025. The project's release announcement mentions some key highlights, including the availability of GNOME 48 and COSMIC desktop packages. "The packaging of Mesa graphics drivers has been significantly reworked, in particular: Applications linked against different Mesa versions than installed on the system should now work correctly going forward (however, applications against older Mesa, e.g. from Nixpkgs releases before 25.05, remain broken). The global Mesa version can now be managed without a mass rebuild by setting hardware.graphics.package. Packages that used to depend on Mesa for libgbm or libdri should use libgbm or dri-pkgconfig-stub as inputs, respectively. OpenSSH has been updated from 9.9p2 to 10.0p2, dropping support for DSA keys and adding a new ssh-auth binary to handle user authentication in a different address space from unauthenticated sessions."
