Hey #NixOS

I am quite comfortably ensconced in the OS now, but I haven't gotten all my creature comforts dialed in, could use some pointers to the best current info source on a couple things.

First off, home manager, which as I understand it is how I setup my .bash* files and other personal user account stuff, but is there good five minute explainer or a quick start or something?

I tried to get it sorted early on but I was still befuddled by a lot of Nix stuff at the time so it became a "later" problem, but I'm tired of not having my bash_aliases.

Other one, I use #musnix to handle setting up RT kernel, as this laptop is where I currently run #Pianoteq, but you don't wanna be running RT all the time - I was doing it for a while and I noticed that my regular desktop apps would lock up periodically. And it's just hard on the CPU cause these apps are not tooled for realtime.

Anyways, what I would like, is to have the top two items on the version list when you boot, be the most recent non-RT build at the top, and the most recent RT build second. Is this doable?

If I could get both versions of the configuration.nix updated and compiled regardless of which I was currently running, that would be gravy, but I would be booting into RT and making sure everything works before any gigs or whatever.

Can this be done?
