Ask HN: Are there wrapper/runner programs that encrypt writes and decrypt reads?
How can a program accomplish this? by using/doing something like virtualization? emulation? syscall/API translation? e.g. like WINE?

Nix without NixOS, how doable is this and how much do I miss?
Essentially, running stuff that needs GL graphics is a bit funky... There's a workaround called nixGL though.

Calibre Replacement Considerations
I think installing Calibre is a good use case for installing Nix (www.nixos.org).
Unfortunately, you might also need https://github.com/guibou/nixGL to run graphical apps under Nix. It's a shell script to use the correct OpenGL library.

Nix-env apps on Debian unable to be executed via GUI KDE.
Try the NixGL wrapper.

Issue: with python-matplotlib
Are you running the Nix package manager on not-NixOS? If so I recall needing NixGL for OpenGL integration.

How do I update packages when using home-manager?
$ nix-channel --list home-manager https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/archive/release-22.05.tar.gz nixgl https://github.com/guibou/nixGL/archive/main.tar.gz nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable

functional
Needs a separate program to run GUI applications on non-NixOS systems

Imagine your entire purpose being made completely obsolete by a single compiler option
IMO the proper solution to this is Nix/Guix, since they have the best of both worlds (sharing libraries where possible, but allowing different versions where needed). Shame that libGL is a mess and as such is difficult to get right in this way, and as such you need hacks like https://github.com/guibou/nixGL for most GUI stuff. That said, people are working on improving the situation.

Setting up my new laptop: Nix style
I get what you mean, but keep in mind that for every distro you're reliant on the community to get nvidia support integrated. Also if you only have few apps that require it, then the nixGL flake is not bad. https://github.com/guibou/nixGL

What does the minimal version of NixOS consist of?
I somewhere saw this project being mentioned: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt

Avoiding Complexity with Systemd
That's nice and it showcases how Nix can create a declarative process management atop a script-based imperative manager. How is your experience with it? Also note that there's https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt, a manager agnostic processes management framework supporting s6 among others, but your way seems a bit more straightforward.
-
is it possible to use nix on a non-systemd distro like void or artix?
There's a project still being developed: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt my understanding is that if home-manager would use it (I don't know if there is even plan to do that, it's not the same author), it would be able to work without needing systemd.
