Nix 2.10 has started printing a warning whenever the current user doesn't own $HOME, which is the case on macOS when running sudo nix because macOS sudo doesn't reset $HOME by default. darwin-rebuild is currently running sudo nix-env -p "$profile" --set "$systemConfig". This command shouldn't care about $HOME1 and yet it now triggers a warning. It would be nice to avoid the warning.

Footnotes

  1. In theory $HOME can affect it through per-user nix.conf files but that seems rather niche. ↩
