Don't merge this PR just yet. Although it installs fine, it doesn't configure all settings. The tutorials will not work if some extra config is not done.

On Arch Linux, you can alternatively [install Nix through `pacman`](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nix#Installation).
On most distributions you can also install it with the package manager:
* On Arch Linux the different types of installation are documented [on the Arch Linux wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nix#Installation).
* On Debian and Ubuntu (and distributions based on these like Mint, MX, ...) you can use `apt install nix`
