I really need to investigate NixOS further. I have Fedora Kinoite (Fedora Silverblue, but KDE) in a VM at the moment. Atomic, while technically immutable, seems easier for a noob to immutable distros.
But, having a look at a pretty comprehensive NixOS wiki, I may give that a go.
I only switched over today, I had been using Silverblue for a month or so before today. I had been wanting to try NixOS but had never taken the time because it looked so much more complicated than Arch. But yesterday I decided to install it in a vm and then I realized it wasn’t at all that complicated so today I reinstalled my desktop system with NixOS. I’m really enjoying it, since it kind of gave me the feeling Arch first gave me when trying to figure it out. I’m sure I’ll still learn some things I don’t currently know yet but that knowledge will come with some more experience with NixOS.
If you enjoy Arch you will probably also enjoy NixOS, so play around with it in a vm and see how you get on with it. Here’s the link I used for most of setting it up, the rest I Google when I needed to look for something specific.

Just a few changes. Firstly, change to my newly made EndeavourOS wallpaper. Also added global menu, changed icons to Tela, changed application menu icon to monochrome, and a few other minor tweaks…

One word of caution: if you update your system as much as the average EOS/Arch user does, you’ll be eating up a lot of disk space, especially if you declare a bunch of system-related python modules. My NixOS Budgie VM takes up about twice the space of my other Linux VMs, and that’s with strict purging of generations.
If/when their Wiki approaches Arch’s in details/accuracy, it will be a much better experience.

I only have my desktop install setup and I don’t install anything I don’t need, same as how I had it with my Arch install. From my understanding of the documentation you can run these.
nix-collect-garbage: to remove old, unreferenced packages.
nix-collect-garbage -d: to remove garbage collector roots and old configurations, meaning you can’t boot from them anymore.

@ajgringo619 I would hope that information is correct and works, I got that information from the official manual and I hope the same for this.
Looks like some Suru++ theme.
I use these commands to cleanup after a NixOS upgrade:
nix-env --delete-generations 30d
sudo nix-collect-garbage --delete-older-than 30d
While it makes a difference, the disk usage is still higher than any of my other systems.
Check out the second link I shared, that seems to clean up space too.

Yeah it is. I just don’t remember where I downloaded it from lol.
The name of the icon set is
Material-Black-Plum-Suru
From Pling ?
Possible. I haven’t downloaded an icon pack in over a year and I don’t even remember what or where that was
A new to me Openbox theme. Dracula Without Border.
slowly replacing the menu icons with the Material-Black-Plum-Suru icons. Will see what i can do about the plank menu maybe modify the .desktop file for the icon.

Unseasonably cool today so I did my indoor work today. Got done a bit sooner than expected so went back to work changing all those icons lol. Got everything to this point with the menu. Was able to edit the .desktop files for those few on plank that didn’t change.

My old MacMini will always be EOS. But my laptop has gotten a distro-hop workout the past couple weeks! 
I think I’m sticking with Solus KDE Plasma 6 for a while. Give it a thorough workout. It’s been years since I used Solus to any real extent. Really liking where Solus has come over the years, especially since their re-birth a year or so ago.
