Should also provide om as a static binary, which can run nix-health without depending on Nix per se, and can even manage the user's Nix install (DetSys installer). A bit long-term though.

Doesn’t most of the commands in omnix depend on Nix being present in the user’s system? The only thing the static binary can help is to direct people to install Nix via DetSys installer?

Since omnix works at a level "above" that of Nix, yes - directing people to install Nix, or even fix their Nix issues is part of it.

Employee John joins company Foo, with a new macbook, and git clone's project Qux whose README mentions curl https://omnix.io/install | sh - followed by om setup or something such thing to setup the environment. This is one vision.
