Description

This might sound dumb, but it would be nice to have an option that makes symlinks created by home-manager owned by root (like hyprland.conf symlink), so they could not be deleted/replaced with other config file for additional security, at least when using home-manager as a NixOS module

Oh and also set 775 permission on them

Oh, after some research I found out that symlinks don't have any permissions, they are attached to directory permissions, maybe replace symlinks with mount --bind?
