You use NixOS as your daily operating system? What’s that like?

I've been using it on my personal laptop for the past two months.
There are a lot of rough edges to the desktop experience, but it generally works. And while that's faint praise, I have no current plans to switch back to Fedora (3 years) or Debian (12 years prior to that).
It's comforting to know that my entire base system configuration is declarative, and it's pleasant to not worry about libraries conflicting or unnecessary packages lingering around.
Immediate, ephemeral access to programs via, e.g., `nix-shell -p pdftk` is extremely convenient: they're only available in that shell session, and they (along with their dependencies) get cleaned up the next time you run `nix-collect-garbage`. Super handy.
What do you think about Darch?

What do you use as a web browser?
edit: nevermind, I didn't realize it was a Linux distro.
