Yeah I would love to see KDM, NetworkManager, and working application entries as that would make nixos usable for my everyday work. However, I don't know how to get that stuff working and don't really have enough time right now to figure it all out. Maybe I will try to work on those things whenever I have some free time, but I don't know when that will be.
