Would it be a good practice to install minimal Debian and learn to use Nix package manager with it?
Literally just what you said, it’s that easy. The only question is whether you want to use any debian DE at all or not.
Debian has extraordinarily sane and basic defaults, whether you need it as a base for vms, lxc containers, nix and other overlays, or whatever.
If you want a system specifically to use the Nix package manager, just use NixOS.
Don’t use Timeshift with BTRFS unless you know BTRFS. Timeshift will just fill the drive and make it unusable. It’s poorly designed for BTRFS.
It’s not necessary accurate to say timeshift is filing the drive. All timeshift is doing is the taking and management of snapshots. You could only have timeshift configured to keep 4 hourly snapshots, which wouldn’t reasonably fill a drive. Now if you 6 monthlys configured, sure you could fill up drive no problem since it will take at least 6 months before deleted data is removed.
This is another similar video that I can vouch for.
