MVP Nixos patches

Description

I think I will take a break here. With these changes I think I've achieved at least an MVP if you will. I manually deployed Hyprdots as best as I knew. I placed the repo in my home dir, copied all the relevant dirs from Configs/.config/ to ~/.config, fixed all the symlinks to point to /home/my-user/... instead of the default /home/tittu/..., edited the CloneDir in Configs/.config/hyprdots/scripts/globalcontrol.sh. Basically I tried to manually do the jobs of restore_fnt.sh, restore_cfg.sh, restore_lnk.sh.

When I rebooted into Hyprland it kinda worked. I had the Catpuccin theme, waybar on the bottom (though the icons and text were too small!), an indicator for the currently active window, working icons for wlogout (though its colors and icons were missing), cliphist, the buttons for changing themes and wallpapers. On the right I had the applets for bluetooth, network manager, any other background apps I had running.

Media keys worked, dunst seemed like it worked (it didn't have any animations when multiple stacked notifications disappeared, though there were animations when only one notification disappeared, and the blue background color seemed a bit ugly so idk if it was intended). The wallpaper and theme changer maybe worked, though I had to click them multiple times, then kvantum manager appeared and when I closed it only then did the wallpaper and theme change with the proper animation.
The keybindings hint menu and rofi also worked.

I'm not sure how close I got to the proper Hyprdots experience, but my completely subjective assessment is that I got 80% of the way there.

From here on I will likely make my own setup based on Hyprdots and maybe rewrite some of the scripts to nushell to get better performance and eliminate the abundance of awk and jq calls. That is, assuming I don't lose interest in Hyprland by then. After all, it takes a lot of effort and will to setup everything myself as someone who hails from KDE Plasma 6.

@kik4444 Why do you search for that directory precisely instead of just searching anything Nixy, like /nix/store, or even just a uname? Is that directory precisely of any use in that evaluation?

I say that because if it's as relevant to put /nix/store, then I would like to put /gnu/store detection aswell so the script skips multiple stateless OSes when detecting those

Honestly I just wasn't aware of any others besides NixOS.

Honestly I just wasn't aware of any others besides NixOS.

Nevermind actually you use that share directory as a substitute in the script, hence why you search for it precisely instead of only looking for NixOS in itself

here the $appDir already points to /usr/share/applications, so please remove applications from this line

Lkp=`grep "$qapp" $appDir/* | grep 'Exec=' | awk -F ':' '{print $1}' | head -1`

[prasanthrangan]

looks good, thank you!
