[Nix-dev] NixOS per-user system configuration

Hello,

i am a beginning user of NixOS, and i am not sure if this my question is mostly about NixOS or about Linux in general, but probably it is about NixOS, because only NixOS has "profiles."

Is it possible to have different system configurations for different users within a single system generation? For example, is it possible to always be in text mode (without XServer) if logged in as root, and to have a window manager when logged in as a normal user? Or have different window managers for different users? Or, maybe, even be able to switch window managers for the same user without rebuilding the system?

Thanks,

Alexey.
