 Directly change to new config, make it default:
 
 ```shell
 sudo nixos-rebuild -I nixos-config=yodaTux/configuration.nix switch

+## Install Home Manager with niv
+
+* https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/tree/release-23.05#releases
+
+> To avoid breaking users' configurations, Home Manager is released in branches corresponding to NixOS releases (e.g. `release-23.05`).
+
+> Home Manager provides both the channel-based setup and the flake-based one.
+
+Check your channel:
+
+```shell
+sudo nix-channel --list
+#=> nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-23.05
+```
+
+Use the corresponding branch:
+
+```shell
+niv add nix-community/home-manager -n home-manager -b release-23.05
+```
