I set

  programs.bash.enable = false

because I've read in the docs that

  programs.zsh.enable = true

would try to set

  users.defaultUserShell

automatically. Enabling zsh without setting defaultUserShell
explicitly however lead to conflicts due to bash.enable and zsh.enable
both trying to set this value. That is why I disabled bash.

It works, thank you!
