If rocking KDE with Arch, use KDE Partition Manager to manage mount points. I mean, I still edit my fstab. And it’s super easy to do anyways.
As an Arch user for multiple years, I did pick up NixOS on a spre machine to toy around with for the learning experience; I can say, I do not like that design choice to be fully config based. It was more pain for initial setup. And for my usecase where I am constantly making changes, it didn’t make sense for me to use.

I like it because I have a super complicated setup where a NAS is mounted in multiple places and gracefully disappears when I’m not at home (all managed deterministically with systemd at boot). Otherwise, I’d have to write a bash script that runs on a cron job to check the mount points. The way I have it now is laughably superior to that old, manual, (IMO incredibly kludgey) way of doing it.
