I'm conflicted as to what I should put in my main config.nix and what to put in my home-manager one
<user101010>
* in terms of pkg installs
<rycee>
Howdy.
<rycee>
In my case I add pretty much all packages through my HM configuration. I only have a few packages installed through the system configuration like things I want available for the root user as well.
<rycee>
user101010: But there is no particular recommendation, mainly it's to choose something that makes sense for you. It's easy to change again in the future :-)
<user101010>
Thanks rycee & thanks for your work on the project
<rycee>
No worries. Glad you like it :-)

is there any reason not to use home-manager from nixpkgs? The home-manager GH repo & the home-manager wiki page on nixos wiki both have approaches that don't use home-manager from nixpkgs
<rycee>
The package in nixpkgs is updated quite seldomly.
<rycee>
But if you don't mind that then it should be fine to use.
<rycee>
You may need to set `programs.home-manager.path = pkgs.home-manager;` or something like that in your HM configuration for it to find the modules ok.

I've not done that but it seems to be working fine. My home.nix is pretty much just `home.packages = with pkgs; [ htop ]` at this point but the install worked & htop runs
<rycee>
Ah, neat :-)
<user101010>
I might swap to the fetchGit method from the wiki if I notice nixpkgs is lagging a bit
<user101010>
Anyway thanks for the help. I'll have a bit more of a play with it & pop back another time :)
<rycee>
You're welcome :-)

user101010: would recommend the nixos module method if you haven't tried it
