Alpine is completely separate by RHEL by a country mile (hell, it doesn't even use glibc). You're probably thinking of Rocky

I don't see why it wouldn't. You may need to enable a config option or two though. Documentation isn't NixOS's strongest suit.

Seems to be broken on FF (nightly, both desktop and Android). Worked on Chromium

It doesn't have to. I ran Sway on Nix the entire time I used it, and I know Hyprland supports Nix as well

GNOME's stance on user customization has been "users can do whatever they feel like using 3rd party tools like Gradience or entirely custom CSS, but if you're a distro maker then only use the Approved Ways(tm) to customize things"

Now, I have zero clue if that solves anything (it very likely doesn't), but it's actually more than most people give them credit for.

I'd say "go join in on the issue tracker and tell GNOME about this" but hearing from some people who tried that before you I'm not too hopeful that would do much of a difference. All I know is that complaining here isn't going to solve anything.

Because of the way it works, you can try out on a VM for a bit and move your config over to real hardware trivially if you end up liking it. That's how I did it before I realized how immature it's rocm support is and had to switch back to arch

Definitely not Gentoo based, but if you can get by with their unique approach to basically everything, NixOS can be pretty interesting, in that while it is technically source based, binary caches are widely used to basically "pretend" to be a binary distro. And it does let you patch things shouid you want it (at the expense of recompiling everything that even slightly comes in contact with the patched package)

There are some parts that are too "baked in" to change -- requiring systemd, for instance -- so that may be a dealbreaker for you.
