>It doesn't work so well for I borrowed my coworker's computer for 5 minutes and want to use my own Vim configuration

You could use something like nixos-shell[1] to spin up a headless VM of your machine into your current shell.

Well that is pretty neat. Thanks for the mention of nixos-shell. I've been a NixOS daily-driver for the past 6 months or so, but I am still picking up new ideas on a daily basis. :)

It's been my daily for not much longer than that, and almost every time I play with NixOS itself I get the sense of wonder and possibility in computers that I haven't had since I was a teenager. It's definitely a force multiplier.
