NixOS Genuinely impressive for reproducible system configs. The catch? Local update management is a nightmare. Hard to understand what’s coming in with updates and when. Terrible visibility.
Try nh, which gives you a very readable diff of what derivations were added / modified / removed after building your system config.

I’m familiar with that, but even then it’s not quite that great; I have changes in the flake.lock without it showing which program it was.
