I should've broken these up into multiple PRs, but now I made too many changes at once, mb. The first of these changes is that I removed nixos-cosmic and lix from flake inputs. For nixos-cosmic, I simply wasn't using it, so building it every time was a complete waste of my time. For Lix, I figure I can simply follow whatever nixpkgs has, I don't _need_ the absolute bleeding edge lix build. I've returned home-manager and impermanence. home-manager is linked via a very simple entrypoint right now, but impermanence hasn't. Why did I return to hm? Simple, to reduce "re-inventing the wheel". My whole `my.users` stuff had two grand problems, one was that it wasn't really user independent given my personal configs were baked right into the module, and that it essentially did what hm is already doing, just reinventing. This is arguably very wasteful, and so I've opted to simply go back to hm, but be a bit more strict. 1) More parity with osConfig, to ensure adequate system values are set. 2) Use my own modules, and avoid the shitty hm ones. Not all are shitty, but quite a few are. I've also gone ahead and removed all overlays. Nix as a buildInput is shockingly rare, and overlaying it is pretty stupid. It only serves to taint pkgs. Modules have been moved to **modules/nixos**, and a **modules/home-manager** now exists.
There's a lot of leftover/stray stuff because I'm trying to NOT break DESKTOP-3DT4F02, but I might end up saying fuck it and breaking it anyways. We are in a PR after all.
I'm deleting out modules, which has intentionally broken DESKTOP. I'll fix it before I merge this PR, of course.
Took the time to make users/frontear/programs recursive import. Hell I actually might bring that lib function back.
There's a special reason I chose to do this. The home-manager persistence module has to leverage user-space tools for mounting. This is unfavourable but an unfortunate issue because home-manager is, like I've said before, a Nix tool, not a NixOS tool. Therefore it doesn't allow leveraging the powers of NixOS activation and makes the module provided worthless. As a result, I am re-using my own.
I had to do them all in one swoop or else zsh would've been left dangling, since so many different modules mess with it.
DESKTOP evaluates correctly, though I don't know 100% sure if it actually works works.
This is awesome
provided they follow the templated behaviour
Deduplicates common values, similar to what I've done for mkNixOSConfiguration.
This has a bit less use but is still relevant so keep it I shall
