 nasso | oooh thank you so much | 01:33:48 |
| nasso | ok so the idea is to literally put them in ~alice | 01:34:36 |
| nasso | didn't know that was possible! awesome | 01:34:51 |
| nasso | 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) | 01:37:46 |

| nasso | (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 |
 Sarah Clark | Home-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 configurations | 03:15:49 |
 Randy Eckenrode | e.g., here’s mine: https://github.com/reckenrode/nixos-configs | 03:57:39 |
