I initially tried guix -> switched to nix with home-manager because it’s got a lot better repos -> installed all user packages through nix on Debian -> nixos

Before nixos I used flatpaks for some packages because nixgl seems abandoned.

Why are you even running arch at that point, for the DE updates?

Yeah, who’d hate using a package manager that increasingly slows down your boot time with every package installed, or that uses a closed source store to provide you FOSS

Maybe there’s a reason canonical has to force it on their users
