i spent a lot of time trying to make nix the 'standard build environment' for an open source project. it was going really really well, even on top of standard distros like ubunutu, redhat, etc.

the problem is OpenGL and Nvidia. NiX doesnt want to deal with NVidia's closed source drivers, and i can't blame them, i got so depressed working on the issue, that i gave up looking into it. there is no good solution. there are only kludges and kludges of kludges.
