Nexoniarz 6bcd5e15ad Switch desktop environment from Hyprland to Pantheon
Configures Pantheon (LightDM + gala) for daily use on this ASUS TUF
Gaming A15 (FA507NU), and drops everything that only existed to serve
the previous Hyprland/Quickshell setup:

- desktop.nix: services.desktopManager.pantheon instead of
  programs.hyprland + greetd; comfy laptop touchpad defaults.
- drivers.nix: NVIDIA PRIME render offload between the AMD Radeon 680M
  (drives the panel) and the RTX 4050 Max-Q (offload-only), using this
  machine's real PCI bus IDs; asusd/supergfxd for ASUS-specific laptop
  control.
- apps.nix / scripts.nix: removed Hyprland/Quickshell-only packages and
  scripts (kitty, rofi, quickshell, mako, hyprlock, hyprpaper/mpvpaper,
  the Quickshell theme-picker scripts, cursor/wallpaper/display
  helpers) — Pantheon ships its own Files/Terminal/Screenshot/
  notifications/theming natively. Kept the DE-agnostic scripts (vault
  toggle, metadata stripping, brightness control, Wi-Fi hotspot,
  telemetry, weather).
- theme.nix and default-apps.nix deleted entirely — Pantheon owns
  GTK/icon theming itself, no more live dconf/CSS generation pipeline
  needed.
- Deleted hyprland/ and dotfiles/ (kitty, mako, quickshell, rofi).

Verified with `nixos-rebuild build`.

My personal NixOS system configuration tailored for daily use on an ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA507NU).

Overview

  • OS: NixOS
  • DE / Compositor: Pantheon (gala, Wayland)
  • Display manager: LightDM (elementary greeter)
  • Shell: Zsh
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS
  • GPU: AMD Radeon 680M (iGPU, drives the internal panel) + NVIDIA RTX 4050 Max-Q (dGPU, PRIME render offload only — run anything through it with nvidia-offload <command>)
  • Laptop control: asusctl (fan curves, keyboard backlight, battery charge limit) + supergfxctl (dGPU power-state switching)

Layout

  • configuration.nix — top-level imports
  • hardware-configuration.nix — generated by nixos-generate-config, don't hand-edit
  • modules/system.nix — bootloader, networking, time, sound, hardening, nix-ld
  • modules/drivers.nix — hybrid graphics (NVIDIA PRIME offload), ASUS daemons, misc hardware (webcam loopback, tablet driver)
  • modules/desktop.nix — Pantheon desktop environment
  • modules/users.nix — user account, Steam, Firefox, Flatpak
  • modules/apps.nix — all installed packages
  • modules/scripts.nix + modules/scripts/ — small custom CLI helpers (encrypted vault toggle, metadata stripping, brightness control, Wi-Fi hotspot, system telemetry, weather fetch)
