Can Home Manager install unstable and stable programs (modules) not just pkgs?

Help

I haven’t tried it myself, but I would say using the disabledModules is the way to go, as it’s the recommended way of disabling modules in NixOS: docs and it looks like Home Manager supports this attribute as well, see 1, 2, 3.

Something like:

{ config, inputs, pkgs-unstable, modulesPath, ...}: {
  disabledModules = [ "${modulesPath}/programs/mise.nix" ];

  imports = [ "${inputs.home-manager-unstable}/modules/programs/mise.nix" ];

  config = {
    programs.mise = {
      enable = true;
      package = pkgs-unstable.mise;
      ...
    };
  };
}

modulesPath is coming from here.
