Hey, I was asking myself the same question and I believe it refers to the direct local-store
implementation in nix:
This store type accesses a Nix store in the local filesystem directly (i.e. not via the Nix daemon). [...] A store that uses a root other than / is called a chroot store. With such stores, the store directory is "logically" still /nix/store, so programs stored in them can only be built and executed by chroot-ing into root. Chroot stores only support building and running on Linux when mount namespaces and user namespaces are enabled.
What are the advantages of this anyways?
I can't find any explanation for it
