Most tools should be moved to user environment (home-manager)

~~TODO: find out how to build per-machine home environments (servers don’t need gui).~~

Modules to be moved

communication
creative
~~fontconfig~~ NixOS module offers more configuration options than home-manager
media
office
tools (partially)
web

~~Those probably should be reorganised into two modules, programs (full-blown end-user applications) and tools (smaller).~~ Only use one file for all programs (so I don’t have to think hours before installing a program in what category it belongs. Only programs/tools that need more configuration should be split into a separate module or use the NixOS module instead if they need permissions that are not possible to configure with home-manager (like suid).
