I don't understand. home-manager has a command switch that does the thing. So I just need to invoke it in the right context. I'm looking for a one-line shell command.

What was I doing here then?

nix run github:nix-community/home-manager --no-write-lock-file -- switch --flake .#d4hines

?

kraftnix: taking a break, will check again tonight. thank you for the help so far

If we can unwind the stack a bit:

• I'm trying to get the simplest setup that has flakes + home-manager + zsh enabled (if possible 😆 - I'm very close to giving up on zsh with home-manager and just manually installing it in Arch).
• nrdxp 's suggestion was an overlay to fix the home-manager/nix-pkgs incompatibility.
• I implemented it here: https://github.com/d4hines/beth/blob/46ba9712110e164d4fe963d525511ce0d9bc86d3/flake.nix#L11-L17, but it doesn't work. I'm a total Nix noob so I probably did something wrong.
• David Arnold (blaggacao) suggested I use digga as an easier way to consume overlays.
• I wanted to try it out, but deploying a digga.mkFlake on my system seems to be aspirational right now.

I feel like there's something dead easy I could do to fix this. Any ideas what that would be? I'm not sure using Digga is it yet.

Ok, it's 100% an emacs issue, I spliced down your profile until and simply adding/removing user.profiles.emacs from your user makes the issue appear/disappear.

i don't use emacs, or understand how their overlay works but that's your current issue.

if you haven't heard about bud before I highly recommend checking it out, specifically how it helped me quickly find your issue was doing

bud repl
 nix-repl> Flake.nixosConfigurations.arrakis.config.system.path

allows for very quick debugging

upfront investment is a bit more involved, but tailing compound interests are considerable 🐿️

Indeed. A comparable org mode in vim would be stellar

well I'm building your hm config now, we'll see if I can track down the issue
