Flox deb appears to install unsupported version of nix

Bug Reports
1

While investigating another issue [1] I came across this Debian installation report which mentions the version of nix. Specifically that only nix version 2.18+ is supported.

But on my flox/nix setup, installed via the Flox deb, I have:

$ flox --version
1.3.1
$ nix --version
nix (Nix) 2.17.1

I have not installed nix from the Ubuntu 22.04 repos (that one is 2.6.0).

So, as far as I can tell, the Flox team is providing an unsupported version of nix in their deb?

the next release of Flox updates to 2.18. as we move forward we will be staying more current with the underlying provided nix version!
