switch to a flake on a apple silicon m2 MacBookPro , complains about itself is a "x86_64" machine about nix-darwin HOT 5 CLOSED

This means you've installed the x86_64 Nix, the easiest fix is probably to uninstall Nix:

https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer#uninstalling

Otherwise, if /nix/nix-installer doesn't exist:

https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/installation/uninstall.html#macos

Then reinstall it with:

https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer#usage

I would download the aarch64-darwin binary manually instead of running the command to ensure the correct Nix gets installed

thank you , i found that while previous installing, install script run uname -m , but it outputs x86 and download the wrong installer leads to this problem.

I suggest using home-manager as a nix-darwin module, that way when you do a darwin-rebuild switch it'll also apply your home-manager config
