It's not what you're asking but I wonder if NixOS's hardware repo could expand to support Framework with some good defaults
That being said, I think there could be a good use case for "meta" NixOS distributions. I'm working on such a thing for a NixOS based RetroArch type thing. But could see a PopOS like configuration, focused on on an “out the box experience”

Not exactly the same but my journey started with nix home-manager on MacOS. Spent time getting it working how I wanted. I enjoyed it so much I replaced my Mac with nixos soon after
MacOS has second tier support to Linux. I'm sure PopOS will work well

Ach, the usual stuff about NICs being re-re-re-created.
I thought the same - then bought in September 2021 a "Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro 16ACH6" which is when I found out that the "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8852"/"Realtek RTL8111E Ethernet LOM"/"Lenovo Device 4852" needs a brand new driver/module.
I lost a lot of hair until I found "https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git" (thaaanks a lot!!!) which made it work.
As of kernel 5.14.5 (on Gentoo) support for that NIC is not available, nor I think in 5.14.12 (not 100% sure - I did not install it, just peeked into it) :(((
I haven't bothered to have a beef with systemd, but some of us have discussed https://github.com/InitWare/InitWare to support non-Linux kernels. That would be really fun.
The only issues were disabling secure boot (which is usually a required step on laptops preinstalled with Windows anyways), and using a recent Linux kernel that has the required WiFi driver. Which the tutorial linked in the post mentions.
And then Linux in general is notorious for having issues for USB WiFi adapters. More info on that can be found here https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi
There's also this dude who has spent 2 years trying to get a mac touchpad experience on linux
