I remember this is some filesystem / Linux kernel utility to change this, I'm not sure what it's called though?

This file is managed by Nix - hence it's in the store path - and read only:
readlink -f /etc/nix/nix.conf
/nix/store/9cidrvc5n3fjf9zplxrwiyh0g9nq07bb-nix.conf
One needs to set the nix.extraOptions
in configuration.nix
to modify this file.
