Warning generating install-iso using nixos generators after disabling network-manager

[ParetoOptimalDev]

I'm just trying to make an install-iso for my jovian-nixos steam deck configuration using nixos-generator modules. I ran into an issue at first:

nix-community/nixos-generators#281

Then realized I could disable network manager to generate the iso and received error:

trace: warning: The Steam Deck UI integrates with NetworkManager (networking.networkmanager.enable) which is not enabled. NetworkManager is required to complete the first-time setup process.

I'm assuming it'll be fine and I can just re-enable/rebuild after, but wanted to bring the issue up here and link back to the nixos-generators issue in case anyone can think of some resolution to make this use case easier for others in the future.

I don't know if there is anything that can be done here. I'm closing, but if there is something that can be handled on our end, please re-open and detail.

AFAIUI it's a fundamental difference in "opinion" around the network management model, and yes mkForce'ing the option false (I suppose) for that other project may as well be the correction way to handle that and it's a warning, it'll build.
