NixOS for the Impatient
- rpi nas
I also wipe my entire rootfs every boot with a zfs snapshot rollback[2] using the impermanence module[3] to keep specific stateful data one one of two datasets with regular snapshots: one is backed up with zfs send, the other is just for cache between reboots.
It took a little puzzling to get started, because I didn’t know about the impermanence module, so I built my own hacky solution. But I really love this setup. And the way I don’t have cruft to clean.
Also my backups are so much smaller now :’-)

Understanding nixos secrets management/aws configuration
Answering your broader question (secret management) colmena does that for me outside the Nix store. I also use git-crypt to store secrets in the repo. There are also more Nix-y alternatives like agenix.
- deploy-rs and colmena should combine efforts

The best solution for deploying flakes
There are 4 tools I'm taking into consideration right now, but every suggestion is welcome: 1. deploy-rs - I don't know anything about it, heard about it like a day or two ago 2. NixOps - the official one, I don't know what to think, but I have concerns about Flakes compatibility 3. morph - I understand this as "NixOps, but better", no more toughs. 4. colmena - seems to be pretty straightforward with quite nice docs

Toy highly-available Kubernetes cluster on NixOS
They shouldn't be, Colmena stringifies the keyFile values which is the same approach as NixOps uses to avoid this. Apparently I implemented that part myself, haha.

Big brain
I myself use colmena's apply-local. Anyway, totally relate to the meme. Using the same tool to manage your servers and workstations, and reusing stuff between them is amazing.

The many issues plaguing Nix
I myself use Fedora Silverblue with a https://ublue.it/ -based custom image, and I use home-manager for shell configuration. Sure, my GNOME layout isn't declarative, but basically everything else is. Pair that with one of the best NVIDIA driver experiences and the strong feeling of stability, it's better than most other Linuxes rn.

Neglected Spin Of Fedora (KDE)
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of immutable systems. You still have full control over what’s on your computer, you just don’t exercise that control by making irreversible changes to your core system while it’s running. You can use e.g. rpm-ostree, or even better, build a custom image with exactly the changes you want that updates and ships directly to your computer whenever you want it to.

Deepin Not Showing (F38)
Try the ublue images, they have one for deepin. It’s a variant on fedoras immutable silverblue image, you could either use their iso on http://ublue.it or install silverblue and rebase to the deepin image via:

Silverblue users: why?
This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

How do I install a downloaded appimage (in localhost downloads) within a toolbox? Fedora Silverblue 38
This hasn't been for nought as even openSUSE's Aeon (and all their immutable offerings) ship Distrobox instead. Vanilla OS also ships Distrobox instead of Toolbx. Heck, even the folks over on uBlue\1]) always mention Toolbx with Distrobox and vice versa. And it wouldn't surprise me if most of them prefer to use Distrobox instead.
