A new version of NixOS, which is a Linux
distribution based on the Nix package
manager, has been released: NixOS 23.05
is now available. The release
notes list numerous updates, including Nix 2.13, Linux 6.1,
glibc 2.37,
Cinnamon 5.6, GNOME 44, and KDE Plasma 5.27.

The 23.05 release was made possible due to the efforts of 1867
contributors, who authored 36566 commits since the previous
release.
Our thanks go the contributors who also take care of the continued
stability and security of our stable release.

NixOS is already known as the most up to date distribution while also being
the
distribution with the most packages. This release saw 16240 new
packages and 13524 updated packages in Nixpkgs. We also
removed 13466
packages in an effort to keep the package set maintainable and secure.
In addition to packages the NixOS distribution also features modules and
tests that make it what it is. This release brought 282 new modules and
removed 183. In that process we added 2882 options and removed 728.
