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

What do you mean?

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.
