I doubt your setup needed recompiling the Nix binary itself at any point. Even I did that more out of love of adventure than for any practical reasons, it’s just that the scars are still there. (Still less than those from the time when the LibreOffice build was broken on Hydra and a routine system update jumped right into trying to perform it locally, even if that indeed was what I technically asked for...) And you know what, the long evaluation thing might just be a bug. Or at least I don’t see any other reason why (e.g.) `nix-shell -p yt-dlp` works reasonably fast on my Nix-on-Droid[1] installation but `nix shell nixpkgs#yt-dlp` takes minutes.
