Nix: Use nixos-unstable for nodejs on Linux My Laptop uses the stable channel for the system by default, but also has the unstable channel available for when I need it. NodeJS 8 isn't available on the stable channel, so manually import nixos-unstable. Other machines shouldn't be affected, as they're using nixpkgs unstable on other OSes.
