Well, I’m in that Nix shop category. For example, I run tests for my OSS project using lots of Python versions. There’s no need to use a Github Actions matrix for that - Nix does it more efficiently. Doesn’t even require containers or VMs. And the whole setup runs exactly the same locally, on Github Actions, or on Garnix. (But Garnix has better Nix caching than other CI runners, so that’s what I use.)
