      I always enjoyed NixOS, but then I got some CRAZY hardware issues. Like my monitor wouldn’t turn on crazy even though it’d be working fine for a while.

        That sounds more like a kernel issue than a distro issue. Were you on regular linuxPackages or linuxPackages_latest?

        what would you say does nixos do over endevouros/arch?

        Well, …everything?

        Conceptually, endavour/Arch are closer to Windows than they are to NixOS. The only commonality is that they’re made up of the same software components.

        The way you set up a software environment is totally different. I’d highly recommend some research on what NixOS’ declarative configuration is and what it means in practice.
