The white flash when starting hyprland is a deal breaker for me
personally and I'd rather not have to deal with it. Should hopefully be
fixed in a later release since it seems to be a wlroots issue.
Although this was cute, there are simply too many bugs and other
inconveniences to be worth it. For example, the bar cannot be focused
when a workspace has a fullscreen application.
This was my test of the hyprbars fork. It turns out that the original
version is more useful, although both versions crash whenever reloading
the plugin after unloading it once.
This was the only way I could get plugins to work reliably. Might look
into this in the future, but v0.27.2 also includes some changes not
present in v0.27.0.
This lets me do things like only update inputs when I want to.
Additionally, it becomes easy for me to add my own functionality to
these projects and contribute to them upstream. Finally, it becomes
easier to verify changes to the system when pulling changes from
upstream.
This configuration is specifically intended for x86_64-linux and likely
wouldn't work on aarch64-linux. Additionally, the configuration name may
be different than the hostname if desired.
Now I don't have to wait for anything to be included in nixos-unstable
and can simply merge whatever I want whenever I want. This also has the
advantage of not having to specify which input is needed to get a
package from.
The current crystal binary in nixpkgs complains about not finding pcre
when you try to compile anything with it, so crystal-flake is necessary
to have a working crystal environment under NixOS.
crystal-flake additionally packages crystalline, which is nice since no
one has been able to successfully create a pull request for nixpkgs yet.

Since I never use previous generations, booting the newest entry by
default seems ideal. In the case that something is broken, it should be
possible to return to the menu by pressing space at boot.
This should make things easier to change and maintain over time, with
the ultimate goal of making it easy to provide example configurations
that can be expanded upon.
