Hi, I am sorry if the question is dumb but I am just starting. Is there a way to use a the home manager configuration stand alone? The reason is that I would like to try using it on ubuntu as well.

Thank you!

Hi @sadoMasupilami

Thanks for reaching out, and we were all just starting once!

Unfortunately, this project does not include that ability yet. That would take some effort by myself or others to

1) refactor home-manager as a separate module, imported by darwin and nixos hosts 2) add a new homeManagerConfigurations output in flake.nix that leverages this module 3) testing

You're not the first to ask for this, so maybe I'll get around to it soon enough.

That would be great!

And thank you for taking all the effort, it helped me starting with the nix ecosystem tremendously!
