Distro: Bluefin (Fedora Linux 40.20240817.0 (Silverblue))
Original nix install method: Determinate systems installer

When trying to follow the instructions for converting an existing system at https://lix.systems/install/, the command fails with: sudo: nix: command not found.

The command did run successfully when adding env before nix run:

sudo --preserve-env=PATH env nix run \
    --experimental-features "nix-command flakes" \
    --extra-substituters https://cache.lix.systems --extra-trusted-public-keys "cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o=" \
    'git+https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix?ref=refs/tags/2.91.0' -- \
    upgrade-nix \
    --extra-substituters https://cache.lix.systems --extra-trusted-public-keys "cache.lix.systems:aBnZUw8zA7H35Cz2RyKFVs3H4PlGTLawyY5KRbvJR8o="

I'm not sure why --preserve-env=PATH doesn't work for me on its own.
