I've run into similar pain points with GitHub Actions in past roles but I still very much use them/get value. One approach that's helped us at Flox is indeed using Nix and we've now seen customers start leveraging that. Significant drop in “works on my machine” issues and more reliable CI pipelines, etc... It’s not a silver bullet, but it offers a solid technical foundation for tackling these challenges. On the Flox side we are very much on the integrate and improve rather than full replace for scenarios like this one <3 Happy to answer any Nix items on this!
