Interesting take.

For me it was quite the opposite, regular Linux distributions annoyed me because after having them set up, some stupid mistake (either from my side, or from upstream, unsure about this) caused my whole bootloader to break, rendering my system unrecoverable (maybe not for every, but for me it was/is).

When i learned about NixOS, allowing you to essentially set up your whole system declaratively, it was so compelling to me, that i just went with it. Yea i don't really like / know the language very well, but it's a lot better of an experience than any prior Linux experience i made.
