I use Lazygit, which is a TUI. It is entirely controlled by keyboard shortcuts and has a lot of quick ways to do tedious things.

Important to note that NixOS has both a rolling release and point release version.

Most mainstream distro's can do all of that without a CLI.

The generic keys have been known for a very long time. I highly doubt it means you'll get anything else out of them.

You are now exempt from the rule please do not post

Oatmilk is easily the best alternative imo. It can be frothed pretty well too.
