NixOS does look compelling
I don’t want to run something like arch that needs adult supervision. I want something to set and forget while I’m not actively tinkering
There’s a large up-front cost in learning nixpkgs and the language, but once you do it becomes really intuitive on how to manage your system. You can get started with installing it on-top of an existing system (https://lix.systems/) and going through https://nixos.org/guides/nix-pills/ which explains the nixpkgs design from first principles.
