you let arch behind and use distros like debian.

does using nixos count ;-;

It is, if your priorities are to tinker even more with your computer. (nix configs, etc.) :)

Using non-tech analogy, it is like having a "project car" to tinker with and a "daily driver" to get to and from work, if you are a car enthusiast.

Yes, but for example I find the steam deck actually buggier than NixOS

Just look at all the posts about the "discover" app crashing

But isn't that behavior actually documented in the Arch wiki? At least when you manually install it, it lists packagekit-qt6 as being "not recommended".

As far as I can tell, I'm just using it to install flatpaks so it should work fine

I said I lt elsewhere already. The maturing "I use arch btw" crowd is steadily migrating to NixOS. In a few years at most .the meme will be "I use nixOS btw".

NixOS is build on a really cool and impressive concept imho. Did you know an OpenBSD developer did like NixOS a lot ? https://dataswamp.org/~solene/
