Why can't things "just work" on NixOS?
You can, in theory, use https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-fhs-compat for this.

Arch + NixOS at once?
There's also nix-alien to run random binaries and nixos-fhs-compat to FHS your OS (might need some tweaking).

Containers with easy graphics acceleration?
Thanks, it was fun working with containers in NixOS! I tweaked the config a little bit so that the DISPLAY variable is automatically set and I also added nixos-fhs-compat's modules so that the guest OS uses FHS. Overall, a very slick setup if you want to run GPU-accelerated software quickly or what to do software development in a more traditional environment.

Way to install apps in their own FHS environment.
There's buildFHSUserEnv as the proper way to run those apps, and there's also a massive hack that I don't really recommend using on your host: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-fhs-compat . If you want to use it, do it with something similar to this: https://github.com/balsoft/kalinix/blob/master/scripts/run-container and then run your vscode/android studio/etc inside that container. The final option is to just run another distro with docker or lxc, set up X11/Wayland passthru to it and run stubborn applications that way.

Do we need an alternative to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard?
The root filesystem only contains two FHS-y symbolic links by default: /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env (and some /etc stuff that is hardcoded in some applications and wasn't considered to be worth patching). All the other files are kept in non-FHS-compliant locations (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/*/default and /run/current-system/sw or /nix/var/nix/profiles/system). This means, for example, that binaries from other Linux distros won't run unless they have been statically compiled with musl (because there's no dynamic linker at /lib/ld-linux.so.2). There's this hack courtesy of Matthew Bauer that links stuff to FHS locations: https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-fhs-compat , but it's not supported upstream and it doesn't change how all the internal Nix stuff works, it's only a wrapper to allow running FHS and LSP-reliant binaries.
