My system is configured that way (by me) and I regularly use sudo -s.

I just want to see if there’s a root shell and not rely on some hidden timeout 🙄

You know how you increasingly fail at a thing the more you concentrate on it. Like walking or riding a bike?

Yeah… That.

That’s a German beer bottle…

So they were aware of it needing repairs and let their president fly anyway? 🤔

I’ve been opening it daily and I thought duo was just tired of my bad Japanese…

Stimmt das hat Horst nicht verdient.

Philipp Amthor is echt der jüngste 70 jährige den ich kenne. Eine Ausstrahlung die mit Horst Schlämmer konkurriert. Wollten die auf die Weise die Jungwähler einsammeln oder was haben die sich damit erhofft?

Nüsse solln ja gesund sein :P

Ich hab ja auch nicht gesagt, dass Kakao ungesund ist. Ich sagt Schokolade ist ungesund unabhängig vom Kakaogehalt.

Schokolade ist ungesund egal wieviel Kakao sie hat. Und wenn du keine weiße Schokolade magst, dann ist das vollkommen ok…

Macht das nicht die AfD zur Mitte? Oder war das Satire?

Wait. That’s a real picture…?

Imho there’s a difference between “people abuse it” and “it is possible for programs to use software that they shouldn’t even find”. Anyway I noticed just now you weren’t the one to actually ask the initial question of whether it’s technically possible, so I apologize for not noticing this earlier. However I think it’s a meaningless endeavor to ponder whether or not it’s possible when that fact is irrelevant.

It’s not that it’s hard to do. It’s that it goes directly against the idea of NixOS since it breaks the separation. With NixOS I can start a shell in a different iteration of my system without switching over the whole system. If I had all my software installed into standard places, that shell might find things it’s not supposed to find.

Bottom line is: Most things work on NixOS out of the box. The PATH variable is adjusted accordingly to what a program is supposed to find, which in my opinion is perfectly reasonable and enough for software to find other software. The dynamic library paths are hardcoded as absolute paths, so software can find it’s libraries. There’s a special dynamic loader for binaries that don’t adhere to this. And if you really need an FHS compliant environment NixOS gives you the tools to create one in a sandbox.

You can either have the perks of NixOS or use an FHS compliant distro. That’s your choice.

Conflict resolution was not my point. Rather the question which the “most recent” between two almost identical installations…

Choosing the most recent one might be impossible if you have multiple installations of the same package with same version but different features enabled during the configure step.
