does anyone know what effect these warnings have when installing or running a nix package?

warning: Ignoring setting ‘auto-allocate-uids’ because experimental feature ‘auto-allocate-uids’ is not enabled
warning: Ignoring setting ‘impure-env’ because experimental feature ‘configurable-impure-env’ is not enabled

I’m using Nix on Fedora.

    It’s exactly what it says. Your nix config has a setting that has no effect without enabling the experimental feature that uses it. Either enable the feature, or remove the setting

    You don’t have the features “auto-allocate-uids” and “configurable-impure-env” enabled, so “auto-allocate-uids” and “impure-env” options are ignored in your config.
