Because of how easy it is to create and run virtual machines in NixOS,
the use of containers is not necessary. Virtual machines additionally
outperform containers when it comes to graphical tasks, and allow for
the usage of a variety of GUI applications separate from the host.
In order to avoid conflicts with keybinds in the GNOME VM, removing
per-key orientation switching and replacing it with one key that
switches between all orientations seems ideal.
Vertical is nice since the animation is faster and covers less of the
screen. It works well with the master layout since you can easily see
the master window of each workspace.
Being able to have unique partitioning schemes for each workspace (as
long as they're using the master layout) is a nice advantage of Hyprland
over other compositors like river.
Note that this uses the base0A, base09, and base02 colors specifically.
The first two are the accent colors used by Stylix, and the last one is
the color that was closest to Hyprland's default.
Unfortunately, telescope-nvim was a downgrade from fzf-vim due to lack
of transparency out of the box, a different window size, and searches
not showing by default.
Although I'm sure it's *possible* to use the colors from Stylix in my
custom theme with Nix, it may take some time for me to figure out how.
Pull requests welcome.
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.
