Why install Desktop Environments in Home Manager instead of NixOS Module?
-
Configuration Location: Desktop environment configuration files are located in
~/.config, which can be easily managed by Home Manager. -
User-specific Services: Many user-specific systemd services (gammastep, wallpaper-switcher, etc.) can be easily managed by Home Manager. If desktop environments were configured via NixOS Module, these user-level services might fail to start automatically. With Home Manager modules, we can control systemd service dependency order more effectively.
-
System Benefits: By minimizing package installation through NixOS Module:
- Makes the NixOS system more secure and stable
- Increases portability to non-NixOS systems, as Home Manager can be installed on any Linux system
- Allows for easier switching between different window managers without system-level changes
