Description

home-manager.useGlobalPkgs is true by default and will become ineffective after 26.11. Using a different set of pkgs for home-manager and nixos has been a constant source of confusion for newcomers and does not make a lot of sense so we are getting rid of this option.

I can't see a usecase for it so if you use this knowingly, let me know why please.
