For those pesky random executables there's a couple of escape hatches -- buildFHSenv and nix-ld. This is also predicated on good provenance of the executables in question. One should probably not even ldd sketchy binaries:
steam-run seems to be able to run everything. It uses bubble wrap to keep the OS isolated and add /usr/bin stuff most exes want.

I don't believe you and I don't even need to look at the code to know this is false.
Is that advisable? It won’t learn anything new and might reinforce its errors.
Likely they have humans review the images (or even touch up). Same thing with the dataset scraped from the internet.

I've been migrating to nixos. I think it makes news in that everyone is obligated to hate it publicly for at least 6 months before resigning themselves to it.

LXD is really great software. The majority of the contributions already come from canonical, so I doubt this will make much difference in the trajectory of the project.
I will say that I prefer running LXD on NixOS hosts where it isn't packaged as a snap. Hopefully canonical doesn't somehow break that.
Why LXD over podman? I've found podman to be a pretty great docker lite.
Moved completely off ubuntu after snaps were introduced. Sticking with gentoo now because it’s one of a few distros that doesn’t try to control what software you have to use.
Have you tried nixos? Its a totally different paradigm and definitely an acquired taste, but I used gentoo for ~2 years, then used Arch for ~5 and now am switching everything to nixos.
Main benefits is setting up a new machine is much easier, and updates are easier because almost all the normal configuration is managed by nixos (in the nix language) as opposed to regular files floating around etc.
