Hey I like your nixos config very much and actually I'm rewriting my configs based on your repo.

I like the clean separation of the os configs and home-manager configs.

One thing I noticed is that even if I set the hosts.desktop.enable = false, the home-manager will still install kitty or some kde components.

I see you said the home/modules/kitty.nix would be lazy loaded but I didn't quite understand this.

To avoid installing such packages, I think using the osConfig provided by home-manager is a good way:

Home Manager will pass osConfig as a module argument to any modules you create. This contains the system’s NixOS configuration.

Taking kitty as an example, I rewrite the config like the following, and the kitty won't be installed if I set the hosts.desktop.enable = false.

{ lib, osConfig, ... }:
with lib; let
  cfg = osConfig.hosts.desktop;
in {
  config = mkIf cfg.enable {
    programs.kitty = {
      enable = true;
...

I also use this osConfig in the profiles/desktop.nix.

Thank you for your great nixos config!
