In a recent issue (Disabling home-manager (#1) · Issues · Garuda Linux 🦅 / Garuda Nix Subsystem · GitLab), it was mentioned that for garuda.excludes.home-manager-modules.excludeAll = true; to work, you need to update to at least this configuration: fix: Add missing gCreateExclusionOption option entries (bfaa05a8) · Commits · Garuda Linux 🦅 / Garuda Nix Subsystem · GitLab

I did add garuda.excludes.home-manager-modules.excludeAll = true; And i do update when I wake up so i think I should be on that patch if not more current. Unless I had to change a config.

Note I use garuda-update then sudo nixos-rebuild switch then depending reboot.
I know I dont need the rebuild but its habbit now.

From the top of my config

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
with lib;
{
    imports = [
    ./hardware-configuration.nix
    ];
    # Do not remove these subsystem settings
    garuda.subsystem.enable = true;
    garuda.managed.config = ./garuda-managed.json;

    garuda.dr460nized.enable = true;
    garuda.dr460nized.themePackage = null; # Null to bypass
    garuda.create-home.skel = "/dev/null";
    programs.fish.shellInit = "nitch";

     

    # This should never be changed unless you know exactly what you are doing.
    # This has no impact on any package updates or OS version.
    system.stateVersion = "24.05";

    #  imports = [ "${pkgs.home-manager}/modules/home-manager" ];

  # Enable LightDM
  services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.enable = true;

  # Set the default session
  services.displayManager.defaultSession = "plasma"; # or "pantheon"

  # Enable Pantheon 
  services.xserver.desktopManager.pantheon.enable = true;

  # Enable Plasma 6 
  services.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;

  # Enable SDDM
  services.displayManager.sddm.enable = false;
# services.displayManager.sddm.wayland.enable = true;
  
  
fonts.enableDefaultPackages = false;
environment.variables = {
  GTK_THEME = lib.mkForce "";  # Or another theme of your choice
  QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE = "";
};


  # Allow unfree packages
  nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true;
  
  # Programs & Services
  services.flatpak.enable = true;
  programs.steam.enable = true;
  programs.fish.enable = true;
  services.dbus.enable = true;
  services.ratbagd.enable = true;
  garuda.excludes.home-manager-modules.excludeAll = true;
