- Removal of top-level `with lib`
- Allow usage of module without setting `platformTheme`, so we can set
the QT_PLUGIN_PATH/QML2_IMPORT_PATH paths without theming
- Add support for kvantum and some other styles
- Add myself as maintainer
Yama is a LSM which restricts debugging. This prevents processes from
snooping on another. It can be easily disabled with sysctl.
This was initially included in #14392 and disabled by default by
86721a5f78.
This has been part of the hardened configuration, but many other distros
ship this for quite some time (Ubuntu for about ten years), so I'd say
it might make sense to enable this per default.
[Motivation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/257817#issuecomment-1741705042):
- Having all the XKB options in the same attribute set clarifies their
relation better than using a common option name prefix ("xkb").
- `services.xserver.layout` is an XKB option, but this is not obvious
from its name. Putting it with the other XKB options clarifies this.

Before: `users.users.user1.group = "group-not-defined-anywhere-else"`
would result in user1 having the primary group `nogroup`, assigned at
activation time and only with a (easy to miss) warning from the
activation script. This behaviour is a security issue becase no files
should be owned by `nogroup` and it allows for unrelated users (and
services) to accidentally have access to files they shouldn't have.
After: The configuration above results in this eval error:
- The following users have a primary group that is undefined: user1
Hint: Add this to your NixOS config:
users.groups.group-not-defined-anywhere-else = {};
and remove nano from environment.defaultPackages. In addition also cleanup the file in general.
This is a follow up to #220481

The text was originally added [0] following an apparently incomplete
research on how everything plays together. In fact, Nix propagates
`outputs` to the corresponding nested derivations, and there is some
messy behavior in Nixpkgs that only seems to propagate
`meta.outputsToInstall` in `buildEnv`[1].
This change moves the hints on how to use NixOS specifics to NixOS
module documentation (which is hopefully easier to find through
search.nixos.org), describes the default behavior in Nixpkgs (updating
a the link to the source), and removes the confusing mention of
`nix-env`.
the last of them should not be there to begin with. we don't want
beginners to use `nix-env`, as this is known to run them into trouble
eventually.

This fixes a bug where the vconsole was not working as intended in systemd stage 1 with systemd v254.
udev rules are now starting with this service instead of whatever happened before.
Clarify that the monochrome font is not included, per #221181.
The new name is also coherent with the name of the font,
according to `fontconfig`: Noto Color Emoji.
- Avoid false-positives on package sets that contain a `terminfo` derivation,
like `haskellPackages` and `sbclPackages`.
- Directly provide a list of names that can be used to update the NixOS module,
rather than a list of derivations which is hard to read in the REPL.
This avoids the possible confusion with `passwordFile` being the file
version of `password`, while it should contain the password hash.
Fixes issue #165858.
Since #246772, cross compiled NixOS is broken because the DateTime perl
package that was used in the update-users-groups.pl script depends on
Testutf8 which does not cross compile (see #198548).
This PR drops the DateTime dependency in favour of TimePiece, which has
less dependencies and whose closure does cross compile.
