I mixed things up a bit. Guix doesn't have a stable channel but Nix does. Twice a year sounds quite fast - but maybe that's just what I'm used to from Ubuntu LTS. I can't imagine being a package maintainer and having to deal with build issues that often (I guess it only targets x64 so it's not too bad)
> If you really need that kind of stability
I guess I don't really 'need' it .. but I just rather my system not be constantly updating and changing under me.
Looks like you have run stable and add unstable packages as needed:
