Notes

I tried yesterday to install Lix, on a fresh macOS 15 Sequoia Beta 3 setup, using curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install and it fails but DetSys installer worked, AFAIU it's because it uses another range of build users IDs (UID 451-482).

Then I gave a try to the following section of the tutorial without more success:

% sudo --preserve-env=PATH nix run \
     --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" \
     --extra-substituters https://cache.lix.systems --extra-trusted-public-keys "cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o=" \

End-up to have a working Lix 2.90 on my machine using nix.package = pkgs.lix; in my nix-darwin config :)
