Running nix in bazzite?

It seemed there were historical ways of doing this, but they have been removed. I've tried to look through the get history as to why it was removed, but can't seem to find a changelog for it.Is it still possible?. Trying https://docs.determinate.systems/determinate-nix/ fails unable to write to /nix.

Playing with distrobox, it doesn't seem to be able to start nixos/nix, as it expects tools that don't exist.
Playing with alpine in distrobox, and apk add nix, it seems to unable to start inside the distrobox container, openrc seems unhappy running inside distrobox. This may be the way and solveable, but distrobox is new to me and seems to come with it's own quirks

I am not looking after managing the system with nix, just to run nix flakes for development that run on other systems.
