10/10/25 - Nixprland

After a right ball ache trying to fix SDDM after deleting my sddm.nix file I made (I never pushed the files to github) I have thrown sddm away and am now using greetd. greetd is cool and doesn't fuck me.

I've symlinked ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf to ~/.OS/hyprland.conf so that can be saved to the same repo as my Nix files. It's looking good.

I've also decided I am not going to download or install anyone elses configs for this hyprland setup. No dotfiles. This is going to be mine.

So mine is looking like this right now, default with some changes and comments removed:

   Λ   ~   cat ~/.OS/hyprland.conf
monitor=,preferred,auto,auto
