nixos-manager VS cachix

the version of GTK supported by gi-gtk is far from current, not to mention that gi-gtk itself, according to this discussion, isn't being as actively developed as it used to be.

You may want to check out this link. I have not checked it myself yet but it looks promising, although it looks like it has not been updated for some time.

I've been trying to gradually introduce Nix more into my development.[0]

One roadblock I haven't been able to overcome is integrating Nix in CI. In my case, I use CircleCI. I know there are Nix-centric CI platforms, but I've invested a lot into CircleCI and would like to stay.

The problem I hit is that if I switch from something like a sqlfluff Docker container to a Nix Docker container, my build job goes from 15s to 2m+ because now I have to download several gigs within the CI job and build my Nix environment from scratch.[1]

I tried Cachix, but the best I could get was bringing the job down to 55s (a roughly 3x performance penalty from an off-the-shelf Docker container).[2]

How does FlakeHub Cache's performance in CI compare to the default Nux cache or to Cachix?
