You can kinda make it bend a bit to your whim. While it is technically immutable if you don't mess with it, it does have everything necessary for using pacman. It just all reverts next time steamos updates. Anything you install directly through the discover portal is permanent, but it does technically have access to anything in the pacman repos as well.
I unlocked mine long enough to download neofetch and take the screenshot for this. It'll revert back soon, but I only needed it temporarily for imaginary internet points. :)
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.
i tried it once, for one reason or another i didnt get past a few minutes
would love to try it again
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.
This is my dualboot install on my old laptop that I used in high school. The trackpad is chipped, and I only use the Windows install for those pesky pieces of invasive proctoring software in use in my college courses. The Mint install, I primarily use for downloading stuff (Persepolis) and data recovery (Because Windows shits itself if you dare plug in a damaged drive).
Believe it or not, it's stock to this distro. If rolling releases and lots of purple and pink neon are your thing I urge you to check out Garuda Dr460nized.
The terminal theme is called Argonaut. Check this video on how to get it. I've even recreated this theme in Gradience for my self. I might someday send a PR upstream the zsh theme is powerlevel10k.
I actually do need that much RAM. I actually exhaust it on occasion, and would be super happy to upgrade to 128GB soon. Turns out it is possible to run too many data heavy docker containers while doing giant codebase compiles.
