I’m still not sure if I would recommend it 😂

sounds like a NixOS user to me! I've been using NixOS as my daily driver for the past several months and I'm not sure if I would recommend it. It makes the hard things easy and the easy things hard. I love the fact that I can very easily pass kernel params or gpu settings via my flake. that's nice. that's easy. I don't like finding some random FOSS project I want to try out and then trying to determine what dependencies I need, if I have them all in my nix-shell, etc.

But honestly once you figure it out and set up distrobox on it you'll never need to distrohop again because you'll have everything on one OS.
