Chrome now has a `plasmaSupport` flag. If you use KDE Plasma, set: ``` programs.google-chrome.plasmaSupport = true` home.sessionVariables = [ QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME = "kde"; ]; ``` This enables the "Use QT" theme in **Settings > Appearance**, which makes Chrome match your Plasma theme.

The neovim module now exposes programs.neovim.extraLuaPackages via init.lua instead of wrapper arguments. This makes for a better out of the box experience, closer to what users can expect on other distributions, i.e., you can now run any neovim derivatives (neovide, neovim-qt etc) without wrapping. If you used home-manager only to install plugins, the newly generated init.lua might conflict with yours. You can ignore the generated init.lua with `xdg.configFile."nvim/init.lua".enable = false` but `extraLuaPackages` will become ineffective. You can still refer to its generated content via: xdg.configFile."nvim/lua/hm-generated.lua".text = config.programs.neovim.initLua; and in your manual init.lua `require'hm-generated'` For more details, see: - https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/8586 - https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/8606 and its linked comments for more details/solutions.

Is it possible for nix flake update to cache tarballs between flakes?
Running it on my #NixOS config flake then #HomeManager config flake (without collecting garbage, flakes are in separate repos) downloads the same nixos-unstable tarball twice.
Subsequent runs do not cause further tarball downloads.

The neovim module now symlinks its plugins into xdg.dataFile."nvim/site/pack/hm" ( ~/.local/share/nvim) instead of modifying the runtimepath via wrapper arguments.

The `gtk2` module now respects `config.home.preferXdgDirectories` when installing your configuration. Previously, the GTK 2 configuration file was always installed to `~/.gtkrc-2.0`, regardless of your preference for XDG directories. Now, it will be installed to `/dev/null/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkrc` if you have `config.home.preferXdgDirectories` set to `true`.

I need Nix Home Manger advice… What packages do you generally add to you nix configuration vs. using your native package manager?

My current thinking is…
- Dev related packages = home-manager
- Packages that need global access, and packages that are utilities = apt/brew/yum, etc.
- Packages, like graphic utilities load via nix-shell when needed.

What's the best strategy?

Tried setting up nix plasma-manager today.

Just added a basic config now. Powerdevil and panels are yet to be added. For panels I think I should use something like #waybar or something else. (Suggest some waybar like thing which is both lightweight and aesthetically good).

Also anyone using #nix #plasma-manager? Would love to see ur configs if possible for reference😅.

And also trying the #xremap tool for shortcuts management 😅

Usually i am pretty amazed how much time i save while configuring my systems with NixOS/HomeManager. But this time i am trying to set up mbsync/mu/mu4e stack and i think some options are scattered all over.

I got a basic setup running now, but where do i put for example the inbox path if it differs from defaults?

There is a new option, 'home-manager.startAsUserService', which causes home-manager to set up each user's personal environment on demand when they log in, instead of doing all the setup work proactively during system boot. Using this mode makes home-manager compatible with pam_mount and other situations where users' home directories are not available until they log in.
