@nasso:matrix.orgnassooooh thank you so much01:33:48
@nasso:matrix.orgnasso ok so the idea is to literally put them in ~alice 01:34:36
@nasso:matrix.orgnassodidn't know that was possible! awesome01:34:51
@nasso:matrix.orgnasso but then if i have a system with, say, users alice and bob, and i want to install cask foo for alice only, cask bar for bob only and cask baz for both

who should be the homebrew.user? thats the main thing im confused about rn because in my case neither alice nor bob stand out as the "main" user really, they're both sharing the same system but i wanna be able to do edit and update my nix-darwin config from both ideally (they're both admin)

@nasso:matrix.orgnasso (i actually have the same question with system settings and system.primaryUser, it's unclear which one should be the "primaryUser" in this case... there isn't one!) 01:38:52
@sarahec:matrix.orgSarah ClarkHome-manager isn't terribly hard and will be better for keeping a declaratrive system definition than using homebrew. You can search github for home-manager configurations03:15:49
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodee.g., here’s mine: https://github.com/reckenrode/nixos-configs03:57:39
