When we recently recarpeted my office, after looking at HD roll carpet, we ended

which is glued down to the floor with mastic. There was no padding, no nail
strips. The advantage was that we didn't have to stretch, and by working with
one square at a time, you can do your irregular work at the edges with
manageable pieces. Cutting something wrong scotches one square, not the whole
roll.  The downside of course is that it looks like commercial carpet.

We have that sort of carpet here at work.  Another advantage is that you can
keep some spare squares around in case something ruins a square or two.

Since it looks like your floor is concrete, I'd make sure you get squares with
quite a bit of padding.  Standing for long periods of time won't be comfortable
if you don't.
