What you think about Declarative system management.Do u use it?
Not sure what that is. Plesse explain more.
Like in Nix.
U write whole system config in a file or few (including grub,ssh,etc) then rebuild system and u have a system based on that config. There are projects for arch like blendos (the alpha release)
It is pretty great, but for now they are still mainly aimed at power users. I have used home manager for a bit, but I feel some module are not exactly well maintained, and using it is not exactly "maintenance-free". BTW, they pollute your hone dir like crazy, as if xdg has never existed.
I feel like nix is aimed as ease of deployment, but not the ease of maintenance especially for desktop use. However, I love atomic distros, they are on the part of the spectrum, you cannot replicate your setup exactly by copying a dir, but they are very easy to use, with sane default.
