been migrating my dotfiles/homebrew config to nix/nix-darwin and all i can say is don't do it…
i'm likely going back to homebrew+mise+direnv…
i like the thought of a declarative environment but the way nix does things breaks way too many things… :\
let me save you hours of your life: don't use `nix-darwin` instead of `homebrew` for gui apps.
don't ask me how i know… 👀
