There was a problem hiding this comment.
Single user installs have been unsupported by the official Nix installer since 2.4.
I don’t think that’s true, is it? I did a new single‐user installation of 2.24 in a VM recently. Rather it’s that they don’t work (at least, with SIP enabled) on Catalina or newer. I think it’s okay to drop support for older macOS versions but we should add a sw_vers check if so; it’s not really about the Nix version.
That said, this just changes defaults without actually dropping support for anything so I think it’s probably fine.

For Nix 1, some environment variables were set when using distributed builds requiring the Nix daemon to be managed by nix-darwin. However, support for Nix 1 has been removed and no other environment variables for Nix are set by default.

Oh, hmm. I guess I did a daemon install but without a separate volume, then. |
