NX Cannot find module '@nrwl/nx-linux-x64-gnu'

This happens because the package-lock.json file was not correctly updated by npm, and missed optional dependencies used by Nx.

1. Running your install command with `--no-optional` (or the relative flag in yarn, pnpm, etc)
2. The package-lock.json file was not correctly updated by npm, and missed optional dependencies used by Nx.

### How to fix
Deleting your node_modules and `package-lock.json` and re-running `npm i` should make sure that everything is created properly in the newly generated `package-lock.json`.
1. If you are running your install command with `--no-optional`, try again without the flag.
2. Delete your node_modules and `package-lock.json` and re-run `npm i`. This should have the `package-lock.json` file updated properly.
