Subject: [PATCH] Use Home Manager as a NixOS module

Replace the standalone homeConfigurations output with the Home Manager
NixOS module, so a single nixos-rebuild applies both the system and the
user configuration.

- flake.nix: import home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager, set
  home-manager.users.leo, drop the now-unused pkgs let-binding
  (allowUnfree comes from configuration.nix via useGlobalPkgs)
- home.nix: drop home.username/homeDirectory and
  programs.home-manager.enable, all provided by the module
- README.md: remove the separate install and home-manager switch steps

 4. Add flakes support by appending `nix.settings.experimental-features = ["nix-command" "flakes"];`
 5. Rebuild `nixos-rebuild switch`
 6. Clone this repo to your destination of choice (I go with ~/.dotfiles for the time being)
-7. Install [home-manager](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/)
-8. Switch to the current version `nixos-rebuild switch --flake . --impure` (Impure, because we do not provide hardware configuration, since it is machine dependant)

+7. Switch to the current version `nixos-rebuild switch --flake . --impure` (Impure, because we do not provide hardware configuration, since it is machine dependant)
+
+Home Manager is included as a NixOS module, so `nixos-rebuild` applies both the
+system and the user configuration. There is no separate `home-manager switch`
+step, and no home-manager channel is needed.
