There’s that, and there’s also the fact that there’s only so many maintainer volunteer manhours. It happens to every distro, it just so hapenned that NixOS was faster this time. Though OpenSuse and NixOS suffer from this a bit less, as they’ve gone out of their way to automate large parts of their update and testing infrastructure(OpenSuse automates everything, I think?).
Part of that is that NixOS had a flake for Plasma 6 throughout the RC phases. So when it hit release, it was mostly just a case of merging it into nixpkgs proper.
You know, I am fine with it. One of the reasons I am using Tumbleweed is for the additional testing they do, so if they aren’t cool with shipping it yet I can wait.
Oh dang, you won this one, Arch (Opensuse Tumbleweed user here :3)
NixOS has had it for a few days already 😎
Who’s the real rolling distro now?

Thank @K900@lemmy.0upti.me ;)
Indeed, I was using that flake for some time. K900 did the Lord’s work.
