The RNNoise config was deployed to /etc/xdg/pipewire, which PipeWire
never reads: it resolves $PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR, then the home config, then
its compiled-in /etc/pipewire, and knows nothing of XDG_CONFIG_DIRS. An
installed system therefore had no denoising while carrying the file.
It now goes through services.pipewire.configPackages, with the LADSPA
plugin substituted to its store path since LADSPA_PATH has no /usr here.
Alongside, on the desktop host only: steam via its module (which also
turns on 32-bit graphics), bitwig-studio, and rtkit so a DAW can ask for
realtime scheduling at all.
hosts/desktop carried two SET-VIA-disko-install placeholders, so the file
did not say which disks the machine has. The invalid paths only ever
caught a missing --disk flag, never a wrong one, and paid for it by
leaving the hardware undocumented.
The system disk is the 512G XPG, /home goes on the 1T Crucial;
disko-install --disk main|home still overrides both. The 1T currently
holds an ext4 Data partition, which the install erases.

hosts/installer builds an image (nix build .#installer-iso) carrying this
flake as /etc/moonix, disko and a wrapper. The guest runs
`moonix-install <host>`: disko formats per the host file, nixos-install
installs, and the repository is cloned into the account own ~/flakes/moonix
with /etc/nixos/flake.nix pointing at it.
The image is built from the local tree, so a state does not have to be pushed
to be installable.
disko is patched to re-ask for the LUKS passphrase on a mismatch instead of
killing the script: its `exit 1` sits inside a function called from the until
loop that was meant to repeat the prompt.
Adds hosts/desktop: 512G system disk, 1T disk for /home, each in its own
LUKS container. modules/disk.nix gains moonarch.disk.home, which moves the
/home subvolume to the second disk and drops it from the first.
New modules/user.nix declares moonarch.user without a default, so the login
name exists once per host instead of once per reference. Both hosts set an
initialPassword: swaylock authenticates through pam_unix and cannot unlock a
screen for an account without one.
greetd.nix configures services.displayManager.regreet and keeps niri as
the greeter compositor, so niri-greeter.kdl stays the shared file that
carries the German keyboard layout. The moongreet input, its package and
pkgs/moongreet.nix are gone.
extraCss goes through builtins.readFile: the module only recognises a
direct /nix/store child as a path, so passing the file path as a string
wrote the path itself into /etc/greetd/regreet.css.
desktop.nix installs swaylock, seeds ~/.config/swaylock/config with the
wallpaper rewritten to the store path, and now owns the moonlock PAM
stack. The Colloid overrides moved to flake.nix so the greeter and the
desktop share one derivation.
initial_session is set per host because the accounts differ. greetd's
restart option flips itself off, verified.
flake.lock still pins moonarch at the pushed revision; it needs
`nix flake update moonarch` once the moonarch commit is pushed.
The initrd default set covers nvme, ahci, sd_mod and USB HID, but not
virtio. Without virtio_blk and virtio_pci the initrd never sees the
disk and stops at
timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-partlabel/disk-main-root
profiles/qemu-guest.nix provides them. Real hardware needs no
counterpart; nvme is in the default set.
Installing used to mean six manual steps through Calamares, one of which
copied hardware-configuration.nix into the repo — a step that fails
silently unless the file is also git added, since Nix only sees tracked
files. It also did not scale past one machine.
modules/disk.nix defines moonarch.disk.{enable,device,encrypt,espSize,
swapSize} and builds disko.devices from it, so another machine is a
device path rather than a new layout. Installing is a single
disko-install run from the ISO.
hardware-configuration.nix is no longer needed: nvme, ahci, sd_mod and
the USB HID modules are in the initrd via
boot.initrd.includeDefaultModules, and nixpkgs.hostPlatform comes from
nixosSystem. The testvm copy described a qcow2 that no longer exists and
is deleted; that host now uses the module against /dev/vda.
The user password no longer arrives with the installer, so it is set
once via nixos-enter after installing instead of committing a hash.
cpugov, sink-switcher and nightlight were referenced solely by the waybar
config; the Quickshell popouts cover all three. btnote, capsnote, vpn and
waybar-hidpp are unreferenced anywhere.
Adds the two system units for battery threshold restore and camera
shutoff, which had been missed.
localConf is written to /etc/fonts/local.conf verbatim. Without the XML
declaration and the fontconfig root element, fontconfig rejects the file
with 'junk after document element' and the generic-family defaults never
take effect.
