That’s the thing with Nix: It works on all the distros.

… as long as you install Nix.

You could say the same about Docker, Flatpak, AppImage or even Snap. Nix is nothing special in that regard.

Well, with the exception that all of those tools use userns to ship almost a full userspace tree while Nix uses no containerisation whatsoever to do its job.
