Beating this with NixOS

Not necessarily, you still need backups or snapshots especially on home directory in case software have a nasty bug like deleting your data.

Laughs in isolated flatpak

... but seriously most of my userspace software cant even access my filesystem? So even if some software blows up i doubt it could do any damage.

The combination of nixos to have a practical unbreakable system and flatpaks to protect your userspace is pretty great. Highly recommend it. - But having backups is of course still advisable as a 3rd layer of protection, in case of hardware failure.
