Description
The builder requires a nix binary to run, currently cppnix (more specificaly pkgs.nixVersions.stable) is being used. Would it be beneficial to use a different nix implementation, such as https://lix.systems/ ? Would this reduce runtime? Would it lead to better error reporting? Further testing probably needed.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There is also tvix, which isn't really production ready unfortunately.
Additional context
I believe we should focus on software and software only, but the current situation regarding cppnix and DS Nix (https://discourse.nixos.org/t/determinate-nix-3-0/61202) is questionable and dubious at best, so maybe this should be considered as well.
