Nix: An idea whose time has come
I would be surprised if there are any binaries that are outright impossible to run under Nix. I spent a weekend getting Xilinx ISE to run in Nix [0], that is a binary behemoth. It uses bubblewrap (already used in Nixpkgs) to setup a bunch of bind mounts so that the binaries see a standard FHS Linux layout.

The Curse of NixOS
Yeah I agree here, I used to find Nix somewhat unintuitive but I have now managed a few non-trivial projects. One being to package Xilinx ISE as a flake [0], and another to build a non-volatile Linux image using busybox and runit [1]. For the latter I still haven't quite gotten where I want but that's because I realised I needed dbus for avahi and dbus is just so ridiculously complex.

Arch noob
Establishing a backup strategy. I'm using BTRFS with snapper and a pacman hook that creates a new snapshot before each upgrade. With ext4 I used timeshift. Besides that, I save my arch configuration with aconfmgr and my files with borg

New machine, same system: Top to bottom vs bottom to top
Since my last cloning I've setup aconfmgr and and systemd-homed. I've also been playing around with archinstall configs to partition the system with encryption how I like. In the future I'm planning to use archinstall and aconfmgr to setup a new system for me and then I'll copy over the backup of my home directory.

Best way to "log" a re-creatable install?

Rebuild a system
Have you tried aconfmgr? In addition to installing packages, it also tracks configurations in /etc and modified files.
- Alternatives to home-manager?

New arch install and partitioning, what's the best way to make backups that doesn't take up a ton of disk space?
For my backup I keep files in my home directory synced with my NAS via syncthing. For my system backup I don't actually backup up my system, I configure my system via aconfmgr and that config is stored in my home directory and synced to my NAS. Using aconfmgr to "backup" my system is extremely space effecient, my aconfmgr config is only 1.7 MB.

is there a good way to synchronize the system between different machines?
aconfmgr (in AUR) can be used to save and restore system configurations and installed packages. For user configuration you can use a dotfile manager like chezmoi (in repo).

Backup of system and package settings
I know you prefer backing up manually, but aconfmgr might be for you.

What do most people forget to do on a new install that's important?
To get something closer to nix on arch I like to use aconfmgr.

Is there anything similar to Arch's aconfmgr for Gentoo? A program that can track, manage and restore your Gentoo configuration?
For those who are not familiar with Arch's aconfmgr, well I have not used it before but just saw it in a post. But it seems to be a configuration manager for Arch. It tracks, manages, and restores your Arch Linux OS configuration.
What are some alternatives?
