Yeah I have a full impermanence setup using tmpfs, which is really nice. I did it like on the NixOS wiki and it’s been helpful for organize my dotfiles and keeping track of all the random stuff that programs put everywhere. I actually have all my stuff in a separate /stuff folder kinda by accident so my /home only has dotfiles and things like that.
You can take this to the extreme too by erasing your root partition each boot: https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/
Using that method you isolate all important state on the system for backup with zfs send.
