Bring laptop in line with desktop config: Plasma 6, Limine, module split

The laptop was still on the Hyprland-era Pantheon commit while the desktop
moved to KDE Plasma 6 + Limine and split system.nix into focused modules.
This brings over everything that isn't hardware, unchanged, so both machines
stay diffable:

- Plasma 6 on Wayland with SDDM, Konsole, gruvbox icons, KDE MIME defaults
  (replaces Pantheon/LightDM; libreoffice-qt6 replaces the GTK build)
- Limine bootloader with the gruvbox theme, replacing systemd-boot
- system.nix split into boot/networking/locale/nix-settings/security
- flakes + nix-command, sysctl hardening extras (yama, tcp_timestamps),
  geoclue off, captive-portal probe off
- package parity: obs-studio, lmms, go, qemu, KDE utilities, lean SDR++ and
  rtl_433 overrides with hardware.rtl-sdr

Hardware and power are adapted rather than copied:

- hardware.nix keeps the AMD 680M + RTX 4050 PRIME offload setup, asusd and
  supergfxd, v4l2loopback webcam and the DualSense ERTM fix; OpenRGB and
  the desktop's single-GPU block are dropped, keyboard lighting is asusctl
- power.nix is new: power-profiles-daemon for Plasma's profile switcher,
  lid-close handling via the current logind.settings.Login spelling,
  powertop/acpi, notes on asusctl charge limits
- no acpi_enforce_resources=lax, ACPI owns the EC asusd drives here
- touchpad defaults, and firewall openings so the hotspot script's shared
  connection can hand out DHCP/DNS
- pinentry-qt instead of the desktop's leftover pinentry-rofi, blueman
  dropped in favour of Plasma's bluedevil

hardware-configuration.nix stays tracked here (unlike the desktop, which
gitignores it) since it's the only record of this machine's disk layout.

-## NexoPass
+Small custom CLI helpers live in `modules/scripts/`: encrypted vault toggle,
+metadata stripping, brightness control (kernel backlight or DDC/CI), Wi-Fi
+hotspot, system telemetry, weather fetch.
 
-`nexopass` (in `modules/scripts/`) derives site passwords from a master with Argon2id, so no password is ever stored. You can have several accounts, each with its own master and an encrypted site list (current versions plus an archive of old ones) in `~/.local/share/nexopass/accounts/`. One app password or PIN unlocks them all; a master is only typed to create or recover an account.
+## Differences from the desktop config
 
-Passwords of 5-15 words or 12-64 characters, "did you mean" for typos, "stay unlocked" for a few minutes (kernel keyring), encrypted export/import shared with the NexoPass Android app, and `nexopass settings`. Run `nexopass help` for everything else. Apache License 2.0.
+Everything outside hardware is kept identical on purpose. What differs:
 
-`nexopass-gui` is the [NexoPass](https://github.com/Nexoniarz/NexoPass) window (also on Android and Windows), fetched from its GitHub release. It uses the same files as `nexopass`, so both see the same accounts and app password.
+- `modules/hardware.nix` — AMD iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU on PRIME offload with
+  `asusd`/`supergfxd`, instead of the desktop's single NVIDIA card and
+  OpenRGB motherboard lighting. Keyboard lighting is `asusctl aura` here.
+- `modules/power.nix` — laptop-only module: power-profiles-daemon (Plasma's
+  power profile switcher), lid-close behaviour, `powertop`/`acpi`.
+- `modules/desktop.nix` — adds touchpad defaults and the Wayland/Ozone flag.
+- `modules/boot.nix` — no `acpi_enforce_resources=lax`; ACPI owns the EC that
+  `asusd` talks to on this machine.
+- `modules/networking.nix` — firewall openings for the hotspot script's
+  `ipv4.method shared` dnsmasq.
+- `modules/security.nix` — `pinentry-qt` (Plasma) rather than the desktop's
+  leftover `pinentry-rofi`.
