Some Conflict with NIX Installed

[nmcbride]

I use Silverblue with NIX installed and for some reason there seems to be a conflict where it is looking into the NIX store/home directory for some reason:

Basically it is confusing the nix home for my own and I'm not sure why.

@nmcbride
When doing the user-install it steps through all the user home directories so that it can set itself up properly on a multi-user system. I can add some additional logic to skip any home directory like nix that doesn't have the expected file structure.

@nmcbride
I just added the fix to the github repo, could you try cloning the latest and installing as follows:
git clone https://github.com/ewagner12/all-ways-egpu.git
cd all-ways-egpu
chmod +x install.sh; sudo ./install.sh user-install
let me know if this fixes this issue for you.

So,

I tried to do the update. Ran into some issues but I believe I got it updated.

However I see this still in the service:

@nmcbride
Ok it looks like nix has some unusual permissions.
I made another change to the script to try and fix it again.

Could you try uninstalling with all-ways-egpu uninstall and then install the latest git version again following the commands from my last post above?
