Hey, just testing NixOS on a vm and hit to my first wall. I added ly (a minimal terminal display manager) to my packages and rebuild it. Then I switched to it by changing the line services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
to services.xserver.displayManager.ly.enable = true;
unfortunately after rebuilding that gave me the following errors:
error: The option `services.xserver.displayManager.ly' does not exist. Definition values:
- In `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix':
{
enable = true;
}
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

So I checked the official manual and there were only examples for SDDM and GDM so I thought ly might have not been implemented yet. Is there a way around this? If not I’m fine with just changing the SDDM theme too.
edit: just tried to install openbox (minimal window manager) and added it with sevices.xserver.desktopManager.openbox.enable = true;
similar results.
