As a (new) NixOS user too, I'd be interested to hear more about this.
Have you tried setups like "Erase Your Darlings" and "NixOS: tmpfs as root" to explicitly persist and manage state?

- SkyMarshal 5y agoI spent about 3-4 months learning Nix/OS this past spring/summer. After some trial and error and source code spelunking, I finally got my system working according to these two blog posts, with some tweaks [1]. It was a lot of work to ramp up that learning curve, but now that I have I don’t think I can ever go back to another standard Linux again. They all feel so messy now by comparison.
