As feared, I am starting to run into some friction with #NixOS #linux
It remains a brilliant idea imo to build the OS declaratively. But I really wish building the filesystem would construct the standard LSB FS structure. Everything installed with Nix packages works fine, but it's starting to get a little tedious when I want to run something a little unusual or something I build myself, which then cannot find dynamic libraries or otherwise crashes for mysterious reasons.
Not sure if I want to give up on NixOS, because it has so many advantages, but it is a little annoying to have to spend so time configuring LD search paths etc.
