Since the goal of this nix-config is to make a consistent environment
across any number of systems, having options goes against this.
If these configuration values need to be changed, they should affect all
systems using the config by default.
This was my attempt at using yambar in both Xorg and Wayland with the
anybar dwm patch however starting yambar resulted in the session being
unresponsive until yambar was killed from another tty.
Avizo had some issues that ultimately made me return to the old and
reliable dunst. For example, the home-manager service would fail to
restart after the computer was idle for a set amount of time.
The way avizo manages its window also resulted in compositors like
Hyprland and picom showing a blur artifact when avizo tried to fade
itself. Ultimately using dunst simplifies things and avoids having
to look in two different places for notifications.
mpdris2 seems to have much greater feature support than mpdris2-rs,
notably the inclusion of lower notification urgency by default and the
ability to start mpdris2 without it showing a stopped notification.
The biggest feature, however, is the possibility to run multiple
mpdris2 instances at the same time. This was impossible to achieve
with mpdris2-rs since it would claim that the bus was already taken.
Notably this enables much smoother usage when running mpdris2 in both
Hyprland and dwm at the same time. Combined with dunst, this enables
seamless notifications between the two environments.
Avizo seemingly has better support than swayosd in dwm, so this change
makes the OSD consistent across both environments.
Long-term it may be useful to figure out why swayosd would tile under
dwm and whether or not it'd be possible to fix upstream.
I never use kitty diff and it doesn't seem to work in Hyprland anyway
