Who's here runs NixOS with opt in state?
I daily-drive it with ZFS on the root partition, and roll back using snapshots. All state is persisted to /nix/state (again /nix is ZFS with atime=off for speed), and important files are all stored in /data. You can find the complete configuration for it here and the partition script here. This is done using the extremely handy impermanence Module

Erase your darlings: immutable infrastructure for mutable systems (erasing root on every boot)
I use BTRFS, and have created a separate subvolume for /home, and take automatic snapshots using btrbk (my config) Also, I did not face any problems with the SSD till now (using TMPFS on /)

Some basic beginner questions I have....
This is one of the best answers I've ever seen. Thanks a lot!! Also to OP, if you decide on using home-manager as a NixOS Module, then you can have a look at my config, it does exactly that, and it is simple to understand (I am a beginner as well)
