home-manager VS nixed

I really am at lost rn, foud this github issue tried the solution and it didn't work.

{ config, pkgs, ... }: { imports = [ (import "${builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz}/nixos") ]; users.users = { jdoe = { isNormalUser = true; initialPassword = "1234"; extraGroups = [ "wheel" ]; }; }; home-manager.useUserPackages = true; home-manager.users.jdoe = { home.stateVersion = "21.11"; programs.home-manager.enable = true; programs.git.userName = "John"; programs.git.userEmail = "Doe"; programs.zsh.zplug = { enable = true; plugins = [ { name = "zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions"; } { name = "romkatv/powerlevel10k"; tags = [ as:theme depth:1 ]; } { name = "ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh oh-my-zsh"; } { name = "ajeetdsouza/zoxide"; } { name = "marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete"; } { name = "marlonrichert/zsh-edit"; } { name = "zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions"; } { name = "ptavares/zsh-exa"; } { name = "zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting"; } { name = "mbenford/zsh-tmux-auto-title"; } { name = "zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search"; } ]; }; services.gpg-agent = { enable = true; defaultCacheTtl = 1800; enableSshSupport = true; }; }; }

There are multiple ways of managing declarative profiles. 1) Attrset, compatible with imperative use of nix-env https://git.io/fAQHW ; 2) buildEnv, providing more control over the paths that are linked into the profile https://git.io/fp0aU ; 3) home-manager, providing nixos-like config for your ~ https://github.com/rycee/home-manager

I don’t like digga myself, but you can check out some of my earlier revisions of my configuration when I was using it. This is the repo.

Check out my Neovim configuration; I think I’ve found a pretty good way of managing all my plugins, LSP servers, and Treesitter parsers declaratively so I don’t have to pull binaries using mason or the provided Treesitter commands.

Inside of your common home.nix file, you can use functions like lib.mkIf and/or lib.mkMerge to conditionally import other files/modules or define options based on the system using attributes like pkgs.stdenv.isLinux; I do this pretty extensively in my own home-manager configurations, check out my kitty configuration for an example. I’m on my phone so I can’t really write any code without it taking a long time, also Reddit formatting sucks.
