Let's take a look at the #NixOS 25.05 release notes. 👀

Starting on the NixOS side of things: nixos-rebuild-ng, a full rewrite of nixos-rebuild in Python, is available for testing. You can enable it by setting 'system.rebuild.enableNg' in your configuration (to replace the old nixos-rebuild), [1/x]

NixOS 25.05 "Warbler" is now released! 🎉
