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).
Display Settings: drag-to-arrange multi-monitor canvas with edge
snapping (locked when only one screen is connected), 8/10-bit depth,
color management presets (sRGB/Wide/EDID/HDR+EDID), SDR
brightness/saturation, ICC profile path, VRR toggle. display-set now
takes a single pre-built descriptor instead of a fixed positional arg
list, since Hyprland's monitor keyword grew well past that.
Wallpapers: fixed the current-wallpaper highlight never loading on
open, added real first-frame thumbnails for animated wallpapers
(wallpaper-thumbs + ffmpeg), bigger 2-column grid, filename filter.
Booru: separate downloads folder from Wallpapers so browsing doesn't
clutter the wallpaper picker, bigger grid, Safe/Moderate/Explicit
rating tiers replacing the old binary toggle, sort order (Newest/
Score/Random). Fixed pagination being completely broken (a Flow
anchor violation was silently disabling the whole layout) and
Danbooru's Random sort (order:random tag times out server-side --
switched to their random=true endpoint for that case).
Wi-Fi panel: added a "Scanning.../No networks found" state and a
manual rescan button -- previously showed nothing either way, making
"still scanning" indistinguishable from a real failure.
Bluetooth: auto-scans on open like Wi-Fi now, instead of requiring a
manual click every time.
New: System Monitor panel (CPU/RAM/GPU/VRAM/disk usage, NVIDIA or AMD
detected automatically) and Weather panel (IP-geolocated or a typed
city, current + hourly forecast, Open-Meteo, no API key) with a
compact taskbar badge.
- Add qt-theme-set: a working Qt theming pipeline via qt6ct (the
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct env var was pointing at a platform theme
plugin that wasn't even installed, so every Qt app fell back to its
own default style). Also regenerates kdeglobals' KColorScheme groups
and sets QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=org.kde.desktop for Kirigami-based
KDE apps, whose QML-drawn chrome ignores QPalette/qt6ct entirely.
Gwenview's dialogs/content now follow the theme; its toolbar/statusbar
chrome is a known remaining gap tied to Kirigami's platform-theme
detection outside a full Plasma session
- Add GTK2 compat (~/.gtkrc-2.0: icon theme + font follow the theme;
no dark variant exists for GTK2's Adwaita engine)
- Add modules/default-apps.nix: Gwenview/Ark as system-default image
viewer/archive manager via /etc/xdg/mimeapps.list, LibreOffice
(Qt6 build), and a working Thunar "Open Terminal Here" (it shipped
calling exo-open, which isn't installed and never resolved)
- Fix display-set.sh: mktemp defaulted to /tmp, a different filesystem
than ~/.config/hypr here, making the mv into display.conf a
non-atomic copy+unlink. Hyprland's file watcher could catch it
mid-replace and throw "source= globbing error: found no match" on
any monitor mode/orientation change. Stress-tested with 60 concurrent
write+reload cycles after the fix with zero errors
- Persist last-set wallpaper and restore it via exec-once, since
hyprpaper/mpvpaper start every session with nothing loaded
- Fix Vesktop's system tray icon rendering as a broken texture: only
resolve tray icons through the icon theme when they're actual names,
not raw pixmap-sourced image:// URLs
- Launch Hyprland via start-hyprland (its official watchdog launcher)
instead of the raw binary, removing the startup warning and adding
hang recovery
- Fix Booru panel: Lewds toggle now actually persists, tag autocomplete
no longer drops/races overlapping requests, and pagination wraps
instead of overflowing off-screen
- Remove the redundant gap between windows and sidebars/tiles
(gaps_in/gaps_out, and duplicate flyout margins stacked on top of
Hyprland's automatic exclusive-zone inset)
