Observations

The Nix install commands within the installation documentation (curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh -s -- --daemon) make it so that the installer always runs headlessly.

Problem

Especially for a new user, losing the verboseness of the questions the script asks is definitely an issue.

Approaches

We went through this dance once before, see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5238 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5395. How did we get back to using the pipe?

Willing to help?

Sure, I would just appreciate context as to how exactly we ended up back to using the pipe, which definitely isn't ideal.
