My experience is the same. Rollbacks never fail. Upgrades often break my desktop environment. Maybe I should just stop using GNOME, since KDE seems to be the better supported "fat" desktop environment. Not sure if cobbling together some kind of i3wm-type environment would simplify things or result in just another kind of fragile complication.
Can't really figure out why GNOME stopped working for me after 18.03. Wish there was some kind of guide/tool for validating that my configuration.nix was still sane with newer versions.

I remember GNOME support was spotty when I used it two years ago. I returned this year to NixOS 18.09 just before 19.03's release and GNOME's been solid throughout, and I'm using 19.09 now.
