Missing parts in nixpkgs and home-manager

Several packages are missing or broken for darwin. Or the x86-64 darwin.
So you should manually install followings.

• vscode
• zed-editor # Why
• Ghostty # Why
• Alacritty - Avoid macOS check - # Why
• Firefox # Marked as bad
• cloudflare-warp # Not yet supported
• Karabiner-Elements # nixpkgs has that, But a bit old and waiting https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/350045
• Tailscale
• Maccy # Why. It is merged in upstream, however I want to avoid unstable channel especially for darwin

Limitations

• I only have x86-64 macbook pro, it is much slow in GitHub action macos-13 runner.
  So preferring macos-15 Apple Silicon runner in several place...

Nix(home-manager) installed tools does not appear in launchers

You can find the icon in Launchpad
