Under the hood

Runs NixOS unstable

Abora v3 runs on the NixOS unstable channel — giving you access to the latest package versions and kernel updates. Because NixOS is declarative and atomic, “unstable” does not mean risky. Every upgrade is safe to roll back with a single command.

# Roll back if anything breaks
anix rollback

# Check your current generation
anix generations

# Switch back to a specific generation
anix rollback --gen 3
