In flakes, step two:

https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin?tab=readme-ov-file#step-2-installing-nix-darwin

The following files have unrecognized content and would be overwritten:

  /etc/nix/nix.conf

Please check there is nothing critical in these files, rename them by adding .before-nix-darwin to the end, and then try again.

$ sudo mv /etc/nix/nix.conf /etc/nix/nix.conf.before-nix-darwin

$ nix run nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/Work/flakey-darwin
error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled; add '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to enable it

Clarify the command should be:

nix run --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes nix-darwin -- switch --flake ~/Work/flakey-darwin
