Nix has an ephemeral command to “install” packages to try out before installing permanently.
nix-shell -p <package> will install the package, and drop you into an ephemeral shell to test it out. Exit the shell and it’s gone.
It’s also possible to install permanently straight from the CLI, but that ruins composability. To each his own.
My bigger problem w nix is the lack of FHS and the hoops you have to jump thru to get a non standard app to work.
You can create account on a per instance basis.

I wouldn’t hold your breath for that. They want players to attract their friends to their platforms. If we could play / talk to each other, there would be no reason for us to buy the games for their platform. I would really like it, but it’s less profit for them.
