I use NixOS, which is kind of a middle thing. The OS is generally immutable, except through one central config. This allows to tweak the OS to exactly the way you want it, whilst preventing any accidental changes and allowing atomic rollbacks.

Learning Nix configuration syntax is a bit of a bump in the road, but once you’ve got that it’s smooth sailing

I’ve still not got my car license, and I’ve been riding for a year now. So far it’s worked out pretty well, although I’m also in Germany where you have to do a full motorcycle license to be allowed to ride, so it’s not far off from what a car license is, just the vehicle is different lol

I say go for it
