Void fits the bill. Debian if you don't want rolling.

nvidia-settings if you're using the proprietary driver.

Void, hands down, if you're halfway experienced. Nix is cool but complicated and quite unlike amy other system.

Except void doesn't have systemd, if you really need it, but it's easy to write your own runit routine.

That’s pretty much where I’ve landed. Except I use firefox.

Nix and ubuntu have in kernel support. Void’s module build system also prevents this situation. I use nix and void, so have never faced this problem.

I gave up on btrfs when Icouldn’t recover from a full disk situation (years ago, may be better nwo). But zfs tooling is so good, reliable and intuitive, I’d not want to switch anyway.

• tab completion in bash
• vim
• zfs
• git (though it didn’t exist then)

tlp is enough
