OK #Nix people: I’d to use Nix on a Raspberry Pi, but #NixOS seems like a no-go for me (based on https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/Raspberry_Pi_5) so I'll stick with Pi OS - but is it still possible to manage system-level packages and systemd units using Nix?
The only things I've found so far seem to suggest creating essentially a wrapper package, or just nix-env -iA / nix profile install.
