If it's of any use: feel free to try it out on a Linux VM to see it's also the case, but the other day I helped a coworker set-up Nix on macOS and no daemon restart was necessary after enabling flakes.
I'd love to comment on the article other than it looking very thorough, but being a NixOS user means I'm cursed to not be able to tell what "obvious" thing you might have missed. What I can say is "congratulations on posting a beginner's course knowing full well you're cursed as well", and thanks for publishing your blog! I've found it to be a great resource multiple times.
- watusername 5y agoAt the moment, flakes is an evaluation-time thing (thus client-side) so no restart of nix-daemon is technically required. However, if you are upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4+ it's best to restart the daemon, otherwise other things like build log output can be messed up if you try to mix client-daemon versions.
