nix-ld is a tool that allows users to run unpatched dynamic binaries on NixOS. It provides a shim layer for binaries that have a hardcoded link-loader, allowing them to run on NixOS systems. This tool is useful for running proprietary software, games, and large programs that are too large for the Nix store. It can be installed from the Nixpkgs repository or from the Mic92/nix-ld repository.
