I used arch for ~5 years but recently switched to Nixos. It's been such a long time since I dared to 'play around' with my setup to try things out without worrying about how I'm going to reverse them. Also really enjoying the added benefit of keeping all my fixes and hacks versioned in a git repo.
I've used a few distros part-time over the years (ubuntu, fedora, mint, arch, pop), and can say that assuming you don't need the latest version of all programs, NixOS is my favourite. It's so easy to test things out and then undo them, it's great!
