NixOS is wonderful. At the same time it's pretty annoying how often I need to test a workflow at my job and it just doesn't work because X or Y downloaded a prebuilt binary that can't dynamically load libraries. The solution is usually simple, but the fact that it's recurring sucks.

Dynamic libraries work pretty well with the nixos option

Oh yea, I use this. Doesn't change the fact that I often run into new dynamic libraries that need to be installed; mostly because the binaries that need them are now the exception instead of the rule.
