Last time I looked, it only worked with NixOS.

I don't understand what makes it more understandable than Home Manager, though.

If you look at the source of a Home Manager `programs.foo` module, it should look mostly like this:

  home.packages = [ cfg.package ];
  xdg.configFile."foo/config.yaml".source = yamlFormat.generate "config.yaml" cfg.settings;

Which is pretty much exactly the same syntax you get with Hjem, but with more optional features. So you could just write that instead whenever you want full control :)

It works on darwin and any linux just fine. Theyre even working on a "standalone" like HMs, if you really want to decouple your user programs from your system.

With some programs it is as simple as you show, but with others there are options around the config and other nix module nasties that I avoid if I can. hjem-rum is a sister project to hjem that provides some similar modules.

I'll take a look again once it's a bit more mature. I need a standalone, single-user, rootless mode for it to work on all my systems.

Thanks for the recommendation.
