The Sacred Desktop — Plasma 6 & Wayland

The sacred desktop environment runs Plasma 6 in native Wayland mode, blessed with Pipewire for audio.

services.displayManager.sddm = {
enable = true;
wayland.enable = true;
};
services.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;

Native Wayland session. services.xserver.enable = false (Xwayland available via xwayland-satellite for X11 applications if needed).

Keyboard layout: fr (console and Xkb).

Dracula theme configured via Home Manager (package dracula-theme). GTK4: gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1.

PulseAudio is absent. Pipewire orchestrates audio with ALSA and PulseAudio compatibility:

Terminal window
# Verify Pipewire runs
systemctl --user status pipewire wireplumber
# Command-line mixer
pulsemixer
# or
pavucontrol # graphical UI

XDG portal is activated with xdg-desktop-portal-gtk as secondary backend. services.gvfs.enable = true for file manager integration.
