Nice! NixOS is quite fascinating I must say. I don't have a huge use for it per se, but I can see huge potential if I ever wanted to make a custom distro to ship out. The Nix config file thing would be super handy!
Yeah the configuration is just really nice, and with flake you can bring litterally anythink into it. Truely an awesome piece of software.
I think the thing i like with nixos is the atomic upgrades, and the fact that you can rollback to an old system configuration if something is messed up. I tried using btrfs on arch before, but it was really confusing to me and i didn't like the readonly snapshots (i might have done thinks wrong too here lol). It's just better way of doing thinks imo.
(it took me while to wrap my head around the configuration syntax tho xD)
