Hello you all, so basically i installed Nix in my machine, and i wanted a way to install packages, with nix-env --install, and those packages share with the root account, i was reading about nix multi-user and i’m gonna be honest, i didn’t understood shit, i need to enable daemon for both root and my user?, or this only works between users, not root?, etc. thanks for any answer!

      oh, yeah, i agree with you, that line of code is exactly what i wanted, thanks! btw, why i needed the single user installation?, wasn’t multi-user made exactly for managing the packages/profiles between different users?

        No, it’s allow you to have a set of packages for each user, and to give you improved security and isolation.

        In this case nix download all of the packages to /nix/store, and then symlinks them to the appropriate ~/.nix-profile/
