      Is that the equivalent to apt update and apt upgrade? I don’t want to apt dist-upgrade lol

        When not using flakes, nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade is equivalent to apt update; apt upgrade. The equivalent to dist-upgrade is nix-channel add $NEW-CHANNEL-URL nixos and then performing a regular update.

          Thanks. I’ve done switch many times after editing my config file. I’ve never added --upgrade!
