I've found nixos is perfect for me since I like how precisely I can configure it.

Oddly enough, I've had a decent chunk of my only barely technical friend group switch to it for the opposite reason. They all just copypaste snippets of config between each other, and if something breaks they just go back a revision. I doubt any of them spend much time configuring anything. It really is the perfect idiot proof distro and I don't normally see people talking about that side of it
