`om health` shows false negative against DetSys graphical installer

When you say DetSys graphical installer, are you referring to the .pkg file at pkgfile, the same one mentioned in the blog post?

I used the linked installer to install Nix on a clean macOS Silicon virtual machine and got the results shown below:

nixone health curl	om health

In DetSys Nix, flakes are no longer considered experimental, which is why they do not appear in the output of:

nix config show | grep experimental

For om, which approach should I take ^{1 2}? (I am leaned towards ²)

Footnotes

1. Run

   nix flake metadata nixpkgs
   

   and check the exit code to determine if flakes are enabled. ↩

2. Check if the Nix version/installation source indicates it’s from DetSys, and if so, automatically return flake check as true with a message saying "For DetSys flakes are not experimental".

   Example nix --version output:

   Normal Nix	Normal Nix (by DetSys Installer)	DetSys Nix
   nix (Nix) 2.29.1	nix (Nix) 2.28.4	nix (Determinate Nix 3.8.5) 2.30.2
