to <code class="literal">~/.config/home-manager/flake.nix</code>.</p><p>The old location will continue to work but using it will trigger a
warning message. We changed the default configuration location to
avoid confusion about which files belong to Home Manager and which
belong to Nixpkgs.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The <code class="literal">home-manager</code> tool now offers an <code class="literal">init</code> command. This command
can be used to generate an initial Home Manager configuration, and
optionally also activate it. The recommended installation method for
a standalone Home Manager setup with Nix flakes uses this new
command. The standard installation method remains the same but uses
the new command internally. See <a class="link" href="index.xhtml#sec-flakes-standalone" title="Standalone setup" >sec-flakes-standalone</a> for

version that introduced the option. If your configuration does not
explicitly set this option then you need to add</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">home.stateVersion = &quot;18.09&quot;;
</code></pre><p>to your configuration.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The Flake function <code class="literal">homeManagerConfiguration</code> has been simplified.

accepts a list of NixOS modules.</p><p>Further, the <code class="literal">pkgs</code> argument is now mandatory and should be set to
<code class="literal">nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}</code> where <code class="literal">nixpkgs</code> is the Nixpkgs
input of your choice.</p><p>For example, if your Flake currently contains</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">homeManagerConfiguration {

username = &quot;jdoe&quot;;

{
home = {

<a class="link" href="options.xhtml#opt-home.stateVersion" >opt-home.stateVersion</a> to

settings.</p><p>As a result <code class="literal">services.picom.extraOptions</code> has been removed in favor
of <a class="link" href="options.xhtml#opt-services.picom.settings" >opt-services.picom.settings</a>. Also, <code class="literal">services.picom.blur*</code>
were removed since upstream changed the blur settings to be more

<a class="link" href="options.xhtml#opt-services.picom.settings" >opt-services.picom.settings</a> instead.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>The <code class="literal">services.compton</code> module has been removed. It was deprecated in

this made it possible for commands in the activation script to run
arbitrary commands accessible to the user. We now restrict the

With this
change you will get a more descriptive error message if you attempt
to enable a module that is incompatible with the host platform.</p><p>Previously, modules that were platform specific would only be loaded
on that particular platform. For example, a module defining a
<a class="link" href="https://systemd.io/" target="_top">systemd</a> service would only be loaded when the
host platform was Linux. This reduced evaluation times, simplified
the generated documentation, and made it impossible to accidentally
use modules that do not support the host platform.</p><p>While the above benefits are quite nice, avoiding module loads also
brings a few problems. For example, the <a class="link" href="https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/" target="_top">public
documentation</a> will
only show the options available for Linux hosts and the
documentation cannot make references to options within modules that
are unavailable on some hosts. Finally, users who wish to use the
same configuration file for different platforms cannot do so, even
if the platform incompatible options are unused.</p><p>Ultimately, the benefits of loading all modules won and the behavior
has now changed. For associated discussion see

a lot of URLs and few queries.</p></li></ul></div>

not typically allowed for Nix store paths. For example, your

configurations. If you don’t override values within systemd units
then you are not affected by this change. Unfortunately, if you do
override unit values you may encounter errors.</p><p>In particular, if you get an error saying that a “unique option” is
“defined multiple times” then you need to use the
<a class="link" href="https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/#sec-option-definitions-setting-priorities" target="_top"><code class="literal">mkForce</code></a>
function. For example,</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">systemd.user.services.foo.Service.ExecStart = &quot;/foo/bar&quot;;
