Do we really want this? In nixpkgs we are moving away from activation scripts. |

Eval works. Work done until now: - add missing `system.etc` and `systemd.sysusers` options. - vendored nixpkgs/nixos/modules/config/users-groups.nix and comment `boot.initrd` and `environment.profiles` configs. - import user ids and userborn modules from nixpkgs. Currently failing on: vm-test> [2025-08-26T09:45:23Z INFO system_manager::activate::etc_files] Done vm-test> [2025-08-26T09:45:23Z INFO system_manager::activate] Activating tmp files... vm-test> /etc/tmpfiles.d/home-directories.conf:1: Failed to resolve user 'zimbatm': No such process Most probably because we don't create the users/group before trying to create tmpfiles. This PR is based on #258 because `user-groups.nix` and `userborn.nix` depend on `system.activationScripts`.

What's good about the activation script is that it displays errors directly to the user switching the system. I can see how this is useful for critical components, or to add some sort of health check reporting. |
