When home-manager manages the root profile, the config should be at `/etc/home-manager` instead of `/root/.config/home-manager` #4318

Description

With that, any user can view the config just like /etc/nixos/configuration.nix but won't be able to modify it. It also makes sense because it is a system wide home-manager config and the nix root profile is at /nix/var/nix/profiles/default

@dnkmmr69420 This is not a use-case for home-manager, not at all. Perhaps you could explain your intended outcome?

Based on your above comments, it sounds like you just want to use a flake for your system-wide configuration.
