You sound like a ball of buzzwords. First, it's not that Wayland is bad, but it's simply not there yet. It still needs more time and effort. Nothing is wrong with this. What's wrong is trying to shove that thing into people's throat. Second, NixOS is overrated for desktops. It's good for reproducing specific environment, but, unlike servers and dev envs, in desktop environments, changes are made from both software and user side frequently and sometime radically. ROI is significantly lower, and NixOS still can't save you from long-term breakage. What I can say is that you're just riding on hypes, and never looked into the true abyss. If you're into rock solid systems, nothing can beat full-time suckless. Ditch those "modern" stuffs like systemd and smart DEs, and you get perfectly predictable system. Do that on Debian, an you have nothing to babysit at all.
