refactor playbook.yaml to install packages using nix (package manager)

[capsulecorplab]

as a more robust candidate alternative to apt for installing packages on the read-only filesystem

[capsulecorplab]

Could try installing nix with https://github.com/danielrolls/nix-install

Encountering a build error while attempting to install nix https://github.com/LearnTeachCode/ltc-workspace-image/actions/runs/8919725444/job/24496399929#step:5:905. Nix discord community suggests following to be the actual problem:

/nix/store/nhq5xmjvp6hv0pjpffapb98zdjanh1ad-nix-2.22.0/bin/nix-store: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /nix/store/nhq5xmjvp6hv0pjpffapb98zdjanh1ad-nix-2.22.0/bin/nix-store)

May need to update to Ubuntu 23.10 as per https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+question/708407

New error as of https://github.com/LearnTeachCode/ltc-workspace-image/actions/runs/11751228768/job/32740882657#step:5:617
