Nix is a lie, and that’s ok
Summary
The article argues that Nix's abstention from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is not absolute, highlighting that NixOS introduces a global path to locate libGL.so, effectively reintroducing an FHS-like impurity. It discusses cross-distro challenges, such as errors when libGL.so cannot be found, and outlines workarounds like nixGL and LD_LIBRARY_PATH tweaks, framing the trade-off as necessary for practicality.
