I use uBlue https://universal-blue.org/ https://universal-blue.org/ with a custom image. It's basically Fedora Silverblue & co, except I can declare my default packages and Flatpaks and stuff in a YML file and then just rebase to the custom image that was built. I use Nix home-manager for configuring my shell and GTK, and plan to do as much with it as possible. It's genuinely one of the most stable feeling Linux systems I've run, especially with the Nvidia drivers being built in the cloud and my computer just getting the latest version automatically. Being Fedora, it's very up-to-date and uses new technologies like Wayland and Pipewire out of the box.

Once Nix can install without disabling selinix, it could be holy grail territory. I personally moved from UBlue to NixOS because I was a bit bored of running my whole life in Distrobox, and didn’t like being so dependent on GitHub. NixOS gives me everything I liked from Silverblue with the flexibility of something like Arch. Plus, Home Manager is amazing. The big downside of container-based images is that you can never touch your home directory. Now instead of Silverblue plus Chezmoi plus like 7 Bash scripts and a Distrobox, it’s all just one Nix config.
