I love Nix. Arch is great, and I’ve used it before, but I love how easily I can just commit my Nix config to a hit repo and save my work after Ive spent 5 hours configuring every app with a pastel color scheme.
I ran Nix for a few months but I went back to Arch because it just didn’t feel right. My biggest issue/complaint being the whole filesystem hierarchy standard being thrown out the window, and yes I am aware of buildFHSUserEnv, but it just feels so wrong.
I 100% agree, ran Nix for a few months until I switched back to Arch. Nix was cool, and having a declarative config was great, but in the end it became too much hassle. Arch just works.

yeah every time I make some tweak to fix an issue in Arch I’m just like “I will never remember this, if my SSD dies all this effort is just gone”
