Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver? (ymmel.nl)

I'm currently running Arch and it's great, but I'm noticing I'm not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I've been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I've got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don't do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.

Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?

It is also amazing for a distrohopper. As one myself, I always keep on looking for something better (Debian, Fedora, Arch, Tumbleweed, Void) etc, but NixOS is like that safe haven I go back to where all of my configurations can be replicated the exact way I want them quickly and efficiently, allowing me to return to Hyprland and my comfy setup.
