please post console output as text - not as image - and use code tags
have you checked with systemctl status if the service is actice and not shadowed?

I wanted to install nix, to install package which is not available in the AUR. But it's not the case anymore, because it appears out that this software is unmaintained.

I edited the post message, and the log for systemctl status is there.

what shows

ls -alFh /usr/lib/systemd/system

about nix-daemon.service? likely a shadow symlink to /dev/null - hence the service is not to be started directly but activated by the socket

btw: is this anythibg related to NixOS? if so: https://bbs.archlinux.org/misc.php?action=rules
