i mean, provided that the OS has a proper graphical configurator (like most normie OSes), isn’t being declarative just a straight upgrade? Configure everything once when installing and then you never have to repeat that process again.
I think your “proper graphical configurator” is doing some heavy lifting there. Of course, there’s no such thing right now, so you’re dealing with the coding yourself in a pretty oddly designed syntactical language, and the terrible official documentation that is the current state of affairs to do it with.
Other than that, sure, a declaritive and atomic OS would be the way to go.
I thought you meant for a declarative OS like Nix. Which does not have a GUI configurator, nor does any comparable declarative OS. Isn’t that what we’ve been talking about this entire thread?

the thing is that distros like fedora and ubuntu have had them for ages
