I use Distrobox with my NixOS machine for when I need AppImage support (or some random binary that isn’t equipped for Nix’s weird ass directory layout) and it’s amazing! Pretty much native speed, and when I’m done with it I can just wipe it out. Perfect!

Distrobox is great and I also used on Fedora Silverblue before switching to NixOS (with similar use cases).
For running AppImages there’s also appimage-run on NixOS. https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Appimage
