...to get a working config, you need to learn a whole new programming language and figure out the tweaks for each package you want to install, so I'd argue the journey is just as long

NixOS sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.

it's an abstraction yeah but understanding what exactly it is abstracting and how is where you'll get snags, it's definitely not a newbie distro.
