Does Nix's break from FHS cause problems?

matcha_addict@lemy.lol to Linux@lemmy.ml – 39 points –

I know that a lot of what Nix does is working around its break from FHS, but I can imagine there are still things that seep through. Are there any unsolvable problems due to this?

I saw on this post that it is possible to use FHS on Nix. Does this solve all potential issues then?

Nothing unsolvable, but it can be a pain when you want to run something not in nixpkgs. My solution is to have Ubuntu on a separate partition, and I was using docker to solve this problem for a while but have moved away from it.
