Opening i3 from home-manager automatically

Help

After a really huge amount of tests, crashes and retries, I figured out something that works (with all the previous points checked).
I’m not really fan of the way it is expressed in the configuration.nix file, and it give kind of a warning at nixos-rebuild time. I will work on a PR to give a cleaner way of expression such scenarios. For now, here is a working solution :

    xserver = {
      enable = true;
      libinput.enable = true;
      displayManager.lightdm.enable = true;
      displayManager.lightdm.autoLogin = { enable = true; user = "elyhaka"; };
      desktopManager.default = "xsession";
      displayManager.session = [
         {
           manage = "desktop";
           name = "xsession";
           start = ''exec $HOME/.xsession'';
         }
      ];
    };

I believe the same hack could be used to launch wayland session (maybe sway ?). I would need require some test, though.

I hope it will help somebody else, and if somebody knows a better way of doing it, please let me know :slight_smile:
