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?

    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.

    That’s what I said:

    I get that they don’t want to do it lest people abuse it instead of using nix but there isn’t a technical challenge that can’t be overcome.

      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.
