We went with the unstable manual, but please remember to also update stable when you can.


- The default Linux kernel has been updated from 5.15 to 6.1, all kernels version supported on <kernel.org> are also available.

- The glibc has been updated from 2.35 to 2.37

- systemd has been updated from v252 to v253, see [release notes](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/NEWS#L21-L677) for more info.
- Updating with `nixos-rebuild boot` and `reboot` is recommended, since in some rare cases the `switch` into the new generation on a live system might fail due to missing mount units.

- The glibc has been updated from 2.35 to 2.37

- GNOME has been updated to version 44. Please see the [release notes](https://release.gnome.org/44/) for details.
