The roll top does expand nicely and fits quite a bit of stuff. The aesthetics of a filled roll top isn’t great, but I’m not the most stylish person, so take that with a grain of salt.
I’ve mostly packed a jacket, beanie, some snacks. Nothing too much.
If all you have is one camera and two lenses, you might consider just getting a camera insert that you can throw into any bag. It’d be way cheaper. I have a few from Tenba and they’re quite nice.
Take a look at the wandrd prvke. The name is stupid but the bag is well built and really comfortable.
The peak design straps a horrible, they cut into you and are really uncomfortable when the bag gets heavy.
zfs is fine on a single drive too, and its cross platform, which OP said they wanted (though not which platforms, which is important here). ext4 is junk on windows and nfs doesn’t work well either for windows, which i assume OP wants because they mention NTFS.
Replaces the Archwiki with basically 0 docs
Arch wiki is still relevant, I still use it as a reference on my NixOS box.
a large chunk of your Linux knowledge no longer applies
Your pacman and pacur (or whatever the name of the air helper soup de jour is this week) will no longer apply. Most of my linux knowledge was still applicable. You have all the same programs that run in the same way as they do on arch.
you can’t compile from source
Sure you can. Want to compile everything from source? Just turn off using the cache. NixOS is a source based distro.
everything is different
Also no. I use the same programs I can get on most other distros.
the nix language kinda sucks until you “get” it, etc.
If you have ever used another functional language its fine.
After nix there is only sadness
It is better in all the ways. Newer packages, no imperative config, reproducible.
nVidia drivers on NixOS are easier and more pain free that on any other distro I’ve used.
Good now wipe it and install NixOS. You’re ready.

the prvke smaller camera cube does not look that big… I don’t think you’re going to find a bag with side access where the cube is significantly smaller than the one in the prvke.
Put the bag at the top?
Or get one of those holster style cases for the camera, so its outside of your main bag, and just put the lenses in some protective thing.
