iPadOS 16 takes the versatility of iPad even further
---
With NixOS you declare your entire OS in a script, something along the lines of Ansible or Terraform. This can even go as far as configuring your user settings, with dotfiles, gsettings, or various other things (often the modules will expose settings in the native nix language and write out the yaml/toml/json/whatever else that is required). The idiomatic way to do this is to use the built-in NixOS configuration (under /etc/nixos) to set up system-level things: mounts, drivers, users, system-level packages (e.g. greetd+sway), and things that change rarely. You then use a project called home-manager to manage everything inside your user configuration (including applications you use), which itself uses nix. By separating it like this, I can sync my entire experience between my laptop and desktop with Git.
I am currently flighting using a separate "nix flake" for both, which allows you to pin versions of packages (with a lockfile). It also allows you to easily pull in other repositories. It hasn't really taken off yet, and the NUR (Nix User Repository, analogous to the amazing Arch User Repository) is still in infancy. I'd offer up my nix configs as an example, but I am currently in the "make it work" example. I have been yoinking several great ideas from this fantastic nix repo: https://github.com/ymatsiuk/nixos-config
The main challenge with Nix is that it doesn't have an FHS: there is no `/usr`, `/bin`, and what you would typically expect. The advantage here is that conflicting dependency versions are not a problem. The problem is that you need to either build any binaries yourself, or wrap them in an FHS helper.
Nix has a virtualenv system `nix develop` and it's very powerful, especially for teams.

I finally understand the "I use Arch, btw" thing
I've been trying to daily drive Linux for the past 2 months or so. Started out on EndeavourOS and didn't had any problems until I tried to make it useable in secure boot (I really want to play Valorant and not bother each time switching secure boot in bios) and failed miserably due to a combination of lack of knowledge and stupidity. I briefly tried NixOS and while this config is beautiful, I just didn't enjoy the way NixOs is customized.
