Did you have similar issue with other projects using Nix? I never has such issue when I was using Nix on a macbook but since I move to Arch, I cannot verify it.
To me it is not an issue related to plutus-apps, maybe more related to your Nix installation, you could try getting rid of your nix folder a do a fresh reinstall.
@omefire sorry, I saw you comment in #82 but forgot to reply.
Please take a look if sandbox is enabled. If yes, try to disable. Maybe a fresh reinstall as @bhoudebert suggested.
I'm closing this for now. Please feel free to reopen and to ask questions.
