Errors and stuff

Security errors

Home Manager will warn about insecure packages, to bypass one-time you can run this:

export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1

Could not find suitable profile directory

Run this:

nix-env -q

file 'home-manager/home-manager/home-manager.nix' was not found in the Nix search path

Error:

error: file 'home-manager/home-manager/home-manager.nix' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)

       at «none»:0: (source not available)

idk :(

Sometimes restarting fixes it temporarily.
