Just as a sanity check is there a reason the scope of this is only to enable the service for all users? is enabling the ability to specify the specific users to enable the service on a big change? thanks for making this PR

No that wouldn't be a big change and it would also make sense. I have pretty much lost hope that this is ever getting merged though so I'm not investing more time in this, as there is no active maintainer on this project (https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-vscode-server/issues/67#issuecomment-1991011917, but then I got ghosted, which honestly is understandable as the xz story happened at about the same time so they probably got suddenly unadventurous 😅).

I would be willing to merge a PR to this branch to my fork though 😊

understandable, maybe its time to look into finding the right person to ask about managing nix-community here given they seem both unable to work on the repo and unwilling (?) to allow someone else to.

unfortunate, guess I'll get to solving this elsewhere

@Ten0 Due to various reasons I don't want to continue working on this project. I asked before (in matrix), without success, but now someone looked into it and turned out I wasn't admin of my own project (explained why I could not find the settings page no matter what I tried). I just invited you as maintainer.
