Need to have Gnome on our laptops, currently looking onto CachyOS (because I like what they are doing), but it will most likely be just good old Ubuntu LTS all over again, because we need stuff working without the need of debugging issues and maintenance.
#nixos is truly amazing. I've never had to "reinstall" nixos. I've had the same fresh install since 2016. in fact, everytime you switch to a new system state, its effectively a "fresh install".
kernel panic? no problem, nixos installs previous system states as boot menu entries. just rollback. something I've done many times.
using any other linux distro is literally just a waste of your time, unless you like reinstalling your system all the time when it gets in a bad state.
"just use macos" you might say. well macos updates and breaks shit all the time. my desktop never changes, because I have no desktop. just xmonad and custom app launcher I wrote (https://github.com/jb55/cmdtree ).
nixos is the bitcoin of linux distros. no surprises, a bedrock of reliability.
