Subject: [PATCH] hyprland: start waybar via systemd user unit, not exec-once
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

exec-once raced Wayland session init — waybar tried to connect before
the display was ready and exited silently. Enable HM's
programs.waybar.systemd.enable so the unit waits on
graphical-session.target.
