Second NixOS. I’m curious as to whether Gentoo does much that NixOS doesn’t do, aside from not using systemd and not having a world-readable store.

I believe nixos is superior. Especially on the package manager side. NixOS supports almost all packages for linux and far surpasses even the AUR on arch Linux.

You can use systemd with Gentoo. it's more customizable and has a better package manager (imo) and better documentation. For regular desktop use I think NixOS makes more sense, even if I detest the language. More customizable isn't necessarily better if you have no goals in mind, either way. I run neither on my "main" machine.
