You could easily do that!

Btw, during installation a note is shown reminding you to add your user to the nix-users group…

The wiki actually mentions that since July 2021, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=684715 - but you've to read it instead of just copy-and-failing the code boxes…

Edit: Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
