nix installation on Fedora immutable (rpm-ostree based) fails after some reboots due to nix-daemon.service not found #747

Installed nix using the installer on a Fedora 39 Kinoite laptop (based on Silverblue and rpm-ostree). Use it to install home-manager and use it for lots of things.

After several reboots the nix command could no longer talk to the nix-daemon.socket. The daemon did no longer start, the following from the journalctl output indicate an error with permissions/SELINUX/...

Uninstalled nix, installed again using version 0.15.1, works properly until now.

I cannot reproduce this (and I hope the error does not return), but will report back if this happens again.

I am not sure if I have the same issue but its definitely similar. Since last 3 updates on Fedora Silverblue 40 I am getting the following error error: cannot connect to socket at '/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused.

Since Silverblue updates daily so after a reboot it happens to me daily the only solution that seems to work is complete uninstall and reinstall of nix which includes my home manager configuration and it is a hassle I hope someone can suggest a permanent fix.
