I'm against dlopen as well. If something makes use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, rest assured that I want it excised from my system. Reproducibly-built, fully-static binaries are what I want, ideally with an accessible SBOM embedded.

So all your binaries are statically linked on your system? 100%?

That's the dream. I want a system that's 100% source-available, 100% reproducible, and 100% statically-defined. Nix looks like the closest thing to that right now.

I don’t see how Nix is close to your dream, Nix is just like any other system and links things like any other system.. I.e. mostly avoids static linking.

Debian did the strongest push for reproducible builds, and is 100% source available.
