Hi, all. I’m currently daily driving Bazzite and installed Nix to manage packages instead of using Homebrew. Specifically, I’m using home-manager and flakes to manage everything, and it has mostly been working great. Installing packages like eza, jq, and ripgrep works without a hitch. However, one issue I’ve run into is that if I try to install packages like Go or Node, I get an error like so:
error: opening file '/nix/store/dbgxyznjpwxrsxykdnlh15q1g9xv3lvr-go-1.22.3.drv': No such file or directory
My understanding is that this derivation file should be generated when resolving my configuration. One thing I thought is perhaps this is getting put in the wrong directory, so I tried searching for any file with go-1.22.3 in its name across my system but there is nothing to be found.
Interestingly enough, if I use devenv to set up a development shell and specify these languages to be installed, it works perfectly.
Has anyone else come across this issue? I can’t quite understand why the files don’t get generated/ don’t exist. Below I’ve pasted my flake.nix and home.nix.

# # fonts?

# # You can also create simple shell scripts directly inside your

# (pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "my-hello" ''

# ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/hm-session-vars.sh
