I know that feature is still pretty young and some parts are still in dev, yet I have tried it on my fedora 34 system and got the following error, which could be related to permission and file ownership: --------------------------------------------------- building /gnu/store/564yvkjmdp5bvdijk8w0cwl7ym5q6sdr-bash_profile.drv...
