Release notes claimed misc:vfr moved to debug:vfr but the live compositor
returns "no such option" for debug:vfr and still exposes misc:vfr. Move
it back.

programs.hyprland.portalPackage already registers the hyprland portal's
systemd user unit. Listing the same portal in xdg.portal.extraPortals
made nixos-rebuild fail at user-units symlink creation. Keep the gtk
portal there since that one isn't otherwise registered.

Sets XCURSOR_* and HYPRCURSOR_* in Hyprland's env list so apps inherit
the same Adwaita cursor the GNOME session uses, and calls
`hyprctl setcursor` at exec-once to apply it compositor-side too.

0.55.0 keeps traditional config syntax — Lua is added, not required —
but two of our settings broke:
- misc:vfr moved to debug:vfr
- dwindle:pseudotile removed (it was a no-op anyway)

nixos-25.11 ships 0.52.1; the fix for XWayland resize lag landed in
0.52.2, and upstream is already on 0.55.0 by now. Add hyprwm/Hyprland
as a flake input and route programs.hyprland and the HM wayland module
through it. Doesn't `follows` our nixpkgs — upstream Hyprland needs
newer stdenv than 25.11 provides.

Long-shot attempt at the Hearthstone-after-resize lag. Tells Hyprland
not to scale XWayland windows compositor-side, which is the
better-tested path for Wine games and sometimes makes resize-state
recovery less broken.

Two pairings:
- misc.focus_on_activate = false so apps demanding attention show as
urgent instead of stealing focus
- cursor.no_warps = true so Hyprland never teleports the cursor onto a
newly-focused window

The bundled waybar config assumes sway and pulls in modules that don't
apply here (battery, backlight, sway/*), tries to read /dev/input/* the
user can't open, and crashes the media module — which surfaced as
"media stopped unexpectedly" and an unrendered bar.
Switch to programs.waybar with our own settings: hyprland/workspaces,
clock, pulseaudio, network, tray. No IP, no CPU/RAM, no temp, no power
profile. Style is a thin transparent bar, white-on-grey workspace
numbers, FiraMono Nerd Font for the volume/network glyphs.

no_hardware_cursors and enable_hyprcursor were chased while debugging
input latency; neither made a perceptible difference. Falling back to
defaults keeps the config honest about what's load-bearing. vrr=2 and
render.direct_scanout stay — direct_scanout is a real fullscreen win
and vrr=2 is a harmless no-op until a driver update lets it engage.

wofi reparses .desktop entries on every launch, which is sluggish on a
fat NixOS package set. fuzzel caches its index and opens in ~30 ms.
Also tightens animation speeds from 0.2 s to 0.1 s for a more
instant-feeling desktop.

The OC'd 190 Hz mode doesn't advertise FreeSync, which kept VRR pinned
off and may have been contributing to perceived frame-pacing weirdness
even at the higher raw refresh. Drop to EDID-native 180 Hz so VRR can
actually engage; +10 Hz isn't worth losing adaptive sync.

The AMD HW cursor plane needs an atomic KMS commit per move, which on
some setups micro-stutters. Software cursors get drawn every compositor
frame at 190 Hz and frequently feel smoother — well-attested workaround
for the "cursor still floaty on Hyprland" complaint.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Long-shot tweak — hyprcursor adds a theme/scaling layer that some AMD
setups report feels slightly laggier than the legacy XCursor path.
Worth a try while chasing the last bit of cursor smoothness gap vs
GNOME/mutter.

This box has both a Ryzen iGPU (card0, 1002:164E) and a Navi 22 dGPU
(card1, 1002:73DF). The monitor is on the dGPU, but aquamarine's
auto-selection wasn't sticking — client buffers were getting allocated
on the iGPU and PRIME-copied across every frame, surfacing as cursor
lag and Zen rendering at a visibly lower effective refresh.
Forces AQ_DRM_DEVICES, WLR_DRM_DEVICES and DRI_PRIME at the Hyprland
session so the compositor and GL/Vulkan clients all live on card1.

allow_tearing was causing visible tearing during window drags, and
misc.vrr=2 was set but never actually engaging — the G34WQCP doesn't
advertise FreeSync on the 190 Hz OC mode. Both were feeding Hyprland's
pacing logic bad signals.
Drops allow_tearing + the matching immediate windowrules, sets vrr=0
explicitly, and pins cursor.no_hardware_cursors=0 to make sure the HW
cursor plane is in use.

Removes the Hyprspace plugin entirely — blank-window snapshots from the
0.52.0/0.52.1 ABI skew aren't worth the patch-pin work right now. With
the overview gone, also rebalances the desktop for input latency:
- decoration.blur disabled (two passes at 3440x1440 were the biggest
per-frame GPU cost)
- render.direct_scanout = true so fullscreen apps bypass the compositor
- misc.vrr = 2 (always on) instead of fullscreen-only

Native `plugin = ...` crashes Hyprland during config parse because the
nixpkgs hyprspace is built against 0.52.0 and the compositor is 0.52.1.
The runtime `hyprctl plugin load` path tolerates the skew, so route the
plugin back through HM's plugins option. Super+Space won't fire on every
boot until we land a more robust load mechanism, but the session is
usable again.

home-manager's `plugins` option emits `exec-once = hyprctl plugin load`,
which races IPC socket readiness on startup and silently no-ops — `hyprctl
plugin list` showed nothing even though the .so existed and loaded fine
when invoked manually. Switch to Hyprland's native `plugin = /path`
directive in extraConfig so the load happens synchronously during config
parse, before any binds referencing its dispatchers.

Bare-Super tap detection didn't actually trigger Hyprspace, and the
SUPER_L release-bind was firing on every combo release anyway. A plain
combo bind sidesteps both problems; Super+Space is free since the
launcher moved to Super+R.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Home-manager loads plugins via exec-once, so dispatchers registered by
Hyprspace don't exist when the config is first parsed — the bindr was
silently dropped with "invalid dispatcher". Route it through `exec,
hyprctl dispatch` instead so the lookup happens at keypress, after the
plugin is up.

Two failing services after the channel switch.
automatic-timezoned has been polkit-blocked since well before the
switch — replace with a static Europe/London timezone. Hosts that
travel can override locally if needed.
The vendored crowdsec module's setup unit chowns its config dir to
the (DynamicUser-allocated) crowdsec user via an ExecStartPre+ hack.
On stable's systemd the dynamic user isn't visible to chown via NSS
at that point, so it fails with 'invalid user'. Declaring crowdsec
as a static system user makes systemd use it (DynamicUser becomes a
no-op) and the chown resolves cleanly.

Share the wallpaper symlink across all hosts by moving it from gnome.nix
into home-manager/fred.nix, and add matugen templates for btop and the
Homepage dashboard.
The Homepage NixOS module writes custom.css into /etc (read-only), so
bind-mount /var/lib/homepage-custom-css/custom.css over it. A systemd
path unit restarts homepage-dashboard whenever matugen rewrites the
file, so regeneration works without sudo.
