On some installations on macOS, it seems that /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/USERNAME is not created, and then some shell scripts complain or something? idk. Rain hit this a while ago with flakey-profile.

% nix run .#profile.switch

yeah, there is also the weird shit where nix tried to move the profile to the user directory, which was a bad idea and we should probably revert
