So Iamm new to nix. I come from fedora and do vfx, which means I need houdini nuke and many other things. They needopticx and cuda working and those apps are not installed via the nix repository, because they are proprietary. How would I go about setting up a houdini install that is at least somewhat reproducible. These apps require some older libraries like libpng. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

So I'm working on a graphics app in rust... But I can't find many good ui solutions. Most are for web. I want something that isn't a web wrapper and supports deferred mode. Does this exist yet?
