There's nothing there that needs flakes (an experimental feature which people should not enable without understanding the implications). You could build a system derivation and run a diff against /run/current-system on it.
For what it's worth, nix-diff has very verbose output (it literally diffs everything that is different in the inputs & outputs). A slightly nicer way to diff systems is nvd[0] (example output[1]) which only shows version changes and added/removed packages.

- remexre 5y ago> experimental Haven't flakes been non-experimental since 2.4?
- nitsky 5y agoNo, using flakes still requires enabling the “experimental feature”. The difference in 2.4 is that you no longer need to use a prerelease version of Nix to have the experimental feature available.
- flurie 5y agoFlakes are "experimental" in the sense that gmail was in "beta" for however many years. I feel like it's important to mention that you're attempting to rewrite nix[1] and explicitly ignoring flakes[2]. Many people using nix are coming to the conclusion that flakes make things much easier to use and understand, and they obviate the need for a lot of secondary tooling that has become standard. There's an easy way to gauge support for flakes: look at how many high-profile nix repos have an up-to-date flakes.nix file.
