Fat OCI images are a cultural problem
Summary: In a NixOS Discourse discussion, users explore the possibility of creating "distroless" OCI images using Nix, similar to Google's distroless images. The consensus is that Nix can produce such images rather trivially, but Nix packages may not be as minimal as they could be due to a cultural issue around nixpkgs packages. Users also discuss the history of containers and their evolution into full-blown operating systems. Nixery, a tool that builds container images using Nix, is mentioned as a potential solution for those interested in minimal container images.
