I'd suggest going through the logs and seeing if anything seems amiss. On a fresh boot, run the following:

journalctl --boot

btrfs + snapper can easily achieve the same thing. You can checkout OpenSUSE.

I only use nixos for my base configuration. All GUI desktop applications are installed through flatpak and development is done through distrobox.

Is anybody using distrobox on NixOS to develop and run software? What are your thoughts on using it?

I feel like it's a huge time saver and makes the use of NixOS easier for beginners. Instead of spending an afternoon or a few days trying to compile or run something using nix, you can spin up a box and seamlessly do your development there. This makes prototyping and testing things out way easier before investing a bunch of time trying to nixify it.
