Sorry, I’m new here and don’t really know what is going on. When I’m trying to instal home-manager it somehow wants to rebuild nix-2.3.16. I’m using macOS 12.0.1
nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install ~
these derivations will be built:

After this, a lot of C++ code compilation is done and it takes forever. I have installed home-manager previously and it was done in seconds.
My guess is that it can’t find a prebuilt derivation(?) of home-manager online so it wants to rebuild it locally. nix-channel --list shows the following:
