#7474 has removed --daemon from the quick-start guide's invocation of install.sh.

I'm new to Nix/NixOS, yet it seems like a lot of common internet advice expects Nix to be installed in multi-user mode. > Even various Nix wiki pages mention editing /etc/nix/nix.conf and restarting nix-daemon.service (eg: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM#Compiling_through_binfmt_QEMU, see the Note box for Arch Linux users).

That change also makes the paragraph following the install instructions make no sense:

On Linux, --daemon can be omitted for a single-user install.

There is no --daemon in the invocation to omit!

This change seems to have also missed the https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/installation page, which still uses the bash <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon style invocation.

@zegelin Thanks for reporting! Please check #9507 if it makes more sense to you now.
