Yah, I installed it a couple weeks ago, it was on Plasma 5.27 or something almost as old, and installing strange software or drivers is such a pain in the ass. Lasted a couple days, like I usually do when I try NixOS every few months. Ah, well.
24.05 brought plasma 6, The problem is, Wayland made a whole bunch of my stuff no longer work updates for those packages are slow to make it through Nix.
Mint? No. Also rock solid but not of the bleeding edge.
Arch and NixOS is where it’s at if you want bleeding edge.
Other than that sgharms is completely right, OP; while it can work it will be more difficult.
I’ve been running NixoOS for about a year now
NixOS is definitely hit or miss on bleeding edge. The archive is absolutely massive but it is in no way universally up to date.
They just got Wayland in in the last update.
It needs more maintainers and it’s a royal pain in the ass to fix anything if it’s actually broken.

openSUSE Tumbleweed if you want bleeding edge also
