I recommend to add /nix to the whitelist because this is the default location for all operating systems, as shown consistently throughout the installation instructions found at https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-installation. The nix manual also has this explicit warning in the "Building Nix from Source" section found at https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-building-source: > Warning: It is best not to change the Nix store from its default, since doing > so makes it impossible to use pre-built binaries from the standard Nixpkgs > channels — that is, all packages will need to be built from source. -- Thanks, Zac
