Nix Installer Fails on OStree Based Systems

[DePingus]

What happened?

I installed Devbox using the main install script and default options. Then I created an empty project with devbox init, and when I tried to add a package with devbox add platformio, it asked me to install Nix. I let it do its thing. But the Nix install failed.

user@mycomputer ~/repos/user/test $ devbox add platformio

Nix is not installed. Devbox will attempt to install it.

Press enter to continue or ctrl-c to exit.

This seems to be a problem with the Determinate Systems Nix Installer and ostree based systems like Fedora Silverblue, Kinoite, Bazzite, etc. Here is an open issue about it. DeterminateSystems/nix-installer#1682 Its been open for a few months now. Maybe y'all can poke someone over at Determinate Systems.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use an ostree based os (Silverblue, Kinoite, Bazzite, etc)
2. Install Devbox
3. Have it try to install Nix

Command

add

devbox.json

{
    "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetify-com/devbox/0.16.0/.schema/devbox.schema.json",
    "packages": [],
    "shell": {
      "init_hook": [
        "echo 'Welcome to devbox!' > /dev/null"
      ],
      "scripts": {
        "test": [
          "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
