Thank you!

So this thread could end up in an extra nixos architecture instead of one
less.

Years ago, I had a tweak to my nixos (never pushed upstream) that used a
64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace. This allowed me to install specific
programs 64-bit with nix-env. The purpose was to have a general memory
saving, but keeping fast calculations in specific things (like melt,
ffmpeg, ...).
