Optional terminal configurations

[Daru-san]

This discussion centers around the addition of a way to toggle terminal configurations, making them optional.

the idea here is to diminish the total size and make the startup faster?

[Daru-san]

Yes. My thought is that if custom terminal configurations aren't needed by the user, they can be turned off.

that makes sense. i'll evaluate the pros and cons, and then come back here, when i have the time

Hey @Daru-san, thanks for the PR and the discussion

We've implemented this functionality with the manage_terminals option:

[terminal]
manage_terminals = false # Disable Yazelix-managed terminals
terminals = ["kitty"] # Specify for detection, install yourself

When false, Yazelix won't install terminal packages (reduces closure size, faster rebuilds). This is available in both yazelix.toml and the home-manager module

fixes your problem!

Im closing the PR and you're welcome to close or keep the discussion up if there's something else you'd like to discuss about this

for you, just git pull and update your config
