I shifted to NixOS over three weeks ago, and I found myself pretty content with most of the things regarding NixOS (if not all the things). But I ended up stumbled with packaging some complicated packages such as intel-i915-backport-dkms equivalent from AUR and the fact that my file manager won’t recognize any application that I installed from home-manager as an application that can open files (Nautilus). So, exhausted from configuring everything by hand, I am trying to see if there are NixOS distributions that work, like Manjaro i3/sway editions, compared to Arch.
I would think that a similar concept to a nixOS distro would be, like, someone else’s configuration where they got your Nvidia card working. You could then just import that and stick whatever else you wanted in it from your own config and sudo nixos-rebuild switch
