Could we get user-global installs in ~/.local as a sort of default environment when no other environment is active?

I'm imagining a usecase as an alternative to `brew` but with the power of Nix.




Flox employee here, you can do that by creating an environment in your home directory and activating it in your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` (we don’t support fish yet, but it’s on the roadmap). An environment created in your home directory is called `default` and your question is exactly its intended purpose.
