Reason for this post is to encourage external NixOS users to join our instance,
- not sure if this'll work but it's an interesting experiment for me😆
- Configuring VS Code extensions with Home Manager
@Operator21 it seems that you're trying to install VSCodium in Home Manager.
While I've stopped using HM and can't directly answer this I hope the following config helps:
VSCodium override in configuration.nix - pastebin
- Brother Printers
@CharleHuff, one suggestion I have for fixing your printer problem is to host a Windows VM and print within it,
configuration.nix:
## [NixOS Virt-manager](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Virt-manager)

uris = ["qemu:///system"];

libvirtd.enable = true;

virt-manager.enable = true;
};
