-- vscode extensions should be in own flake (make sure to add the nixpkgs.overlays in it too)

 - monitor configuration in `~/.config/monitors.xml` should be sym linked to `/run/gdm/.config/monitors.xml` (https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/u09cz9/home_manager_create_my_own_symlinks_automatically/)
