Nix Build results in an executable that has (probable) dynamic linking issues

From tester @Paculino:

System Info

*Note: tester does not have Nix installed

Error:

bash: /home/paculino/Downloads/qremote: cannot execute: required file not found

I believe this to be a dynamic linking issue. Built by cargo impurely the resulting executable works fine. Executables built by Nix are expecting /nix/store/ to exist, and therefore will not work on other systems.

Given that my vision for qrcp is that it "just works", I'm considering statically linking distributed executables to avoid dynamic linking issues. I do fear the final executable size but it seems worth a try?
