Not for sure if you are working on SD card based things but this might get you half way there. We do this for loading RPIs https://github.com/Robertof/nixos-docker-sd-image-builder

Nixos on RPi: what's wrong?
As an alternative(?) to remote build, you might want to look at https://github.com/Robertof/nixos-docker-sd-image-builder and see if you can build an initial image to boot your RaspberryPi, and go from there.

Is Using nix-env an Antipattern?
Nowadays, I tend to try things out with comma, then add them to my configuration for later use. Some tools are not even installed in my systems because I use them so infrequently - opening a terminal and running , freecad is basically as easy as actually having it installed.

hook nix-shell on zsh command not found
There's a version of this approach that uses nix-index to figure out which package a command is in called comma: https://github.com/nix-community/comma

Relatedly, check out comma. It's basically a shortcut prefix command that will search packages for the binary you want to run (via nix-index), and gives you an interactive choice if there are multiple. Which package was drill in again? No matter, I'll just prefix a comma :)

Why does nix/nixos even allow the "temporary" install of things?
Yeah dude. Emphemeral installs are a feature, not a bug. Similar vein is , https://github.com/nix-community/comma

Reddit, Twitter, Shopify scramble to deploy 'instant buy' 2021 MacBook Pro
One of the nicest tools is comma. https://github.com/Shopify/comma. It's just a light weight wrapper around searching nix-pkgs and running something, but it sure makes a lot of things easier when you're sharing somebody else's laptop.

Having trouble getting started adding packages to my user
If you want to test out some program, I would STRONGLY recommend using nix-shell -p . This will create temporary environment, that will allow you to test out the package. You can also check out comma.
