For example like this:

# Garbage collector.
    gc = {
      automatic = true;
      options = "--delete-older-than 20d";
    };
For example like this: ```nix # Garbage collector. gc = { automatic = true; options = "--delete-older-than 20d"; }; ```

30 to 60 days seems good to me, I'd even say 60 straight. Less than 30 defeats the purpose of being "atomic" as we promise reproducibility and more than 30 days is enough for user to trigger a rebuild at least "once".

The thing that I'm afraid of is that, once you trigger a clean-up, you have to trigger a rebuild to create first generation, so machine is bootable, if not, grub ain't gonna boot to anything hence making machine unusable...

The best case scenario would be if we offer our users a manual clean-up button in our new Settings app which would do the clean-up and afterwards run a nixos-rebuild creating first generation to keep machine bootable.
