Per-display manager service starts (or disabling service implementations in general)? #4820

Open gekoke opened 6 months ago

gekoke commented 6 months ago

For example, I'd like to enable services.dunst along with its systemd service, but only when I'm running a light-weight desktop environment such as Hyprland, and not when logging into Gnome.

Alternatively, it would be fine if I could just disable the service definitions in home-manager's modules (e.g. these). This way, I can use Hyprland's exec-once (or similar for other compositors/WMs/desktop environments). I would still like to manage the configs of programs and services using home-manager.

It looks like some modules already expose this as an option (e.g. waybar).
