I did have a nix.conf setup in my ~/.config/nix/ folder, if that matters.

Figured it out. I had installed and uninstalled nix-darwin and it did not clean itself up. There was a /etc/nix/nix.conf.before-nix-darwin

If possible, could you tell me what steps may have been missed? I see I still have a /nix folder also.
