I was hoping to get back to single-step Darwin installs via NixOS#4289, so this PR is a draft at at folding NixOS#4305 into an automatic installer step. Curious what anyone thinks (particularly people who have m1 hardware in already like @matthewbauer @kloenk). I have a number of specific questions, but I guess I should start with the one that would moot the rest:

Do you think it is acceptable/desirable to run softwareupdate --install-rosetta automatically at all?

What about asking if we should install Rosetta?

After my exams I could try to install nix via an installer.

Probably should create a timemachine first xD

What about asking if we should install Rosetta?

We have an affordance for prompting the user if it's an "interactive" install, but generally still need to find sane default behavior for headless installs (or requiring a flag before invocation).

I do have one affordance (not yet in master) for forcing a fresh sudo prompt that can break this wall (developed for the specific case of confirming it is OK to remove the Nix Store volume) but it feels heavy-handed and I think it would block a CI install for any CI provider that doesn't patch sudo to keep it from actually prompting (not sure if this is true anywhere).

I would say it could be if we're planning to be stuck on x86_64-darwin for a long time. I'm hoping NixOS#4334 progresses quick enough that we can avoid requiring users to have Rosetta 2. I guess it may still take a while since we have a big Nixpkgs PR as a dependency.

Fair! :)

I am assuming the current state persists for long enough that the quality of the onboarding experience for Big Sur M1 users will matter--but if it'll be short-lived, there's no need to spend much time answering them.

One way or another this work won't make it into Nix any sooner than NixOS#4289, so it seems reasonable to sit and wait for now, unless @thefloweringash has any sense of when that might land (crude range of weeks/months?)

I guess one other factor might be whether having Rosetta 2 installed will keep Nix from figuring out which to use, in which case I'd be inclined to leave it up to the DIYers...

This deadlocks ProgressBar, e.g.

  # nix run --impure --no-substitute --store '/tmp/nix2?store=/foo' --expr 'derivation { builder = /nix/store/zi90rxslsm4mlr46l2xws1rm94g7pk8p-busybox-1.31.1-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/bin/busybox; }'
