Nix – Death by a Thousand Cuts
(Declarative rclone https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/6101)

My new Nix series!
Atop all this is the Nix Operating System, or NixOS. NixOS brings all of the declarative goodness of Nix into a Linux distribution. This means that (almost) everything about your system is declarative, including the packages (obviously), the users, the desktop, the login manager, systemd units, containers, and among other things, even the bootloader! Through some extensions, you can also partition disks, build images, and even configure your home folder. A single NixOS configuration is built into multiple pre-configured operating systems using just a single command!

Curiosity got the better of me so I looked it up at https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/ and it indeed does purport to provide benefits I guessed at and then some.
Whether that's better than just manually managing things yourself is altogether a different matter.
