This fixes an issue where the cursor would occasionally show in
fullscreen applications where the cursor was not expected to show.
The cursor will still disappear when using kitty.
I personally find it frightening that I was previously using PKGBUILDs
in Arch Linux for something that could have been so elegantly achieved
with Nix and NixOS.
Unfortunately, the system occasionally gets stuck at the dreaded "stop
job" message at times. I haven't delved into figuring out the cause yet,
but this change ensures that shutdowns occur in a timely manner.
Unfortunately, KMSCON was extremely buggy and caused a variety of
graphical glitches and random character sequences across a non-trivial
amount of virtual consoles. Because of this, Hyprland as the main
environment will be preferred with a way to emulate a tty-like
appearance.
Although it would be nice to use a Wayland image viewer, currently all
of them (that I am aware of) suffer from anti-aliasing issues not present
in feh.
Note that instead of searching for the background at runtime, it is
likely possible to reference the background at build time when the
hyprland config is migrated to Nix.
After using Nix and NixOS for a few days, I can't believe I did
something like this in the past. Having a single reproducible flake is
significantly more pragmatic than imperatively configuring everything.
A wallpaper is required for Stylix to work, so I added one with base00
as the background color and the NixOS logo as the foreground image.
