NixOS looks like just about the only sane option besides containerizing everything like Snaps and flatpacks, which seems to also suck. I used to love Linux, about 10 years ago, but it seems to be stagnating. Stuff basically never breaks on Android, so it's clear you can totally make a computer that actually works. But even mint occasionally has random fussy problems, and so much of the internals are built around manual admin. I mean, debian packages can randomly decide they need to ask a question during setup! Plus Nix seems to have modern packages. Other linuxes have a huge repo, but a lot of it is nonsense, unmaintained, or obsolete, or something only of interest to unix fans. With nix ever fairly obscure stuff that normally needs a ppa seems to be there.
