NixOS has some neat ideas but goes to the deep end implementing a near-perfect design of those ideas. If you need those ideas, it's really great.

I'm fantasizing about doing a lipstick-on-pig kind of a facsimile of NixOS on top of Arch Linux.

    Nixpkgs and home manager on top of Arch is a nice hybrid system. I gave up on the idea for my PC because it enforces a level of tidiness that I'm not always on board with. Sometimes I do Evil Things to my computer and leave garbage lying around. It doesn't complain, and I'd shoot it if it did
