Hyprland problems prompted a full switch to Budgie (X11, lightdm).
Removes every Hyprland/Quickshell dotfile, theming script, and
hypr-specific module (theme.nix, the whole scripts/ theming pipeline,
hyprland.conf/hyprpaper.conf, the Quickshell shell QML, kitty/mako/
rofi configs) in favor of Budgie's own panel/session/theming and a
GSettings-driven icon/cursor override.
App changes:
- Konsole/Dolphin replace kitty/Thunar as the default terminal and
file manager; dropped xterm too (services.xserver.excludePackages)
- Added Okular (PDF/document viewer), KCalc (calculator), Elisa
(audio player) -- nothing filled those roles before
- Added OBS Studio
Audio/voice:
- EasyEffects for real-time mic/output effects (creates its own
selectable "Easy Effects Source" virtual mic automatically)
- A standalone "Virtual Microphone" PipeWire device (loopback module,
services.pipewire.extraConfig), fully independent of the real mic,
for routing EasyEffects/Soundux output separately from what Discord
etc. use by default
- qpwgraph for manual patchbay routing into the above
- Soundux (soundboard) installed via Flatpak -- no longer packaged in
this nixpkgs channel
default-apps.nix: Okular wired into mimeapps.list alongside the
existing Gwenview/Ark defaults; removed the Thunar-specific
"Open Terminal Here" custom-action tmpfiles rule (dead now that
Thunar's gone -- Dolphin gets the same via its built-in konsolepart
terminal panel for free).
- Add Osd.qml: themed top-center popup for volume/mic/brightness/media
changes. Volume and mic react directly to Pipewire so they fire for
any change, not just our own keybinds; brightness is notified
explicitly (no live service exists for DDC/CI writes); media is
driven by two playerctl --follow watchers (status + metadata) so
track changes, pause/resume, and stop all show correctly without
double-firing
- Add Super+Shift+Z/X to toggle the Left/RightBar sidebars, via a new
Quickshell IpcHandler wired to the same expand/collapse logic as the
BottomBar arrows
- Add function-key binds for volume up/down/mute, mic mute, brightness
up/down, and media play/pause/stop/next/prev (wpctl/playerctl);
extend brightness-ctl with relative up/down steps for both the
backlight and DDC/CI paths
- Add gh and playerctl to packages
