That's Nix with extra steps.

  I specifically said I'm not really trying to solution this, lol. More toying with the LD_PRELOAD aspect than anything Nix is neat, and I don't think I've used it enough to be too critical - but in some ways it feels like 'extra steps' I wanted to make a 'reproducible' installation (ala kickstart, not strictly binary)... but it felt very much like distribution work; declaring dependencies and the like

    Oh, nix is an extra mile. A lot could be improved, but that's what I'm using to deal with dependencies.

      Gotcha, I don't feel so floundering now! I plan to spend more time with it, I see a lot of merit The amount of control is great, but the docs could use some work. For my simple goals (install Sway, Ansible, some other things) it was a broadsword when I need a butter knife

        What sold me on nix is home-manager and flakes: I can easily bootstrap my environment anywhere nix is available.
