A set of named specialized configurations. These can be used to extend
your base configuration with additional settings. For example, you can
have specialisations named <quote>light</quote> and <quote>dark</quote>
that applies light and dark color theme configurations.
</para><para>
Note, this is an experimental option for now and you therefore have to
activate the specialisation by looking up and running the activation
script yourself. Note, running the activation script will create a new
Home Manager generation.
</para><para>
For example, to activate the <quote>dark</quote> specialisation. You can
first look up your current Home Manager generation by running
<programlisting language="console">
$ home-manager generations | head -1
2022-05-02 22:49 : id 1758 -> /nix/store/jyac-home-manager-generation
</programlisting>
then run
<programlisting language="console">
$ /nix/store/jyac-home-manager-generation/specialisation/dark/activate
Starting Home Manager activation
</programlisting>
</para><para>
WARNING! Since this option is experimental, the activation process may
change in backwards incompatible ways.
