link2xt 7cea23caf5 Recommend Lix instead of Determinate Nix Installer
Determinate Systems server is installing its own fork of Nix
that is apparently not open source:
<https://lobste.rs/s/be78ef/dropping_upstream_nix_from_determinate#c_m3hq6r>
The company behind it also pushes the users to use FlakeHub
and has other problems.

[Lix] installer is a fork of The Determinate Nix Installer.
I uninstalled Nix preivously installed with The Determinate Nix Installer
and installed Lix, it works just the same for Android builds.

Upstream Nix would also be fine,
but it still has old installer that does not enable Flakes
and breaks on macOS on upgrades apparently,
so we cannot recommend it as the easiest way.
