Lazy installation managed by nix

[Readf0x]

Now my current situation is kinda outside the realm of what lazy is really meant for, but I still think it's work asking.
I am using the nixpkgs version of lazy which is deployed to the regular ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim path. This work pretty much as you would expect, I just add lazy to the runtime path and require it. There's no functional issues, except for the fact lazy assumes that it's going to be a git checkout and so if you run the :Lazy command, it shows that lazy.nvim isn't installed.

If you try to run something like :Lazy sync it will fail because the install path is a symlink to a read only directory. Is there any way to trick lazy into thinking that it is installed (since it is...) or at the very least, suppress errors?
