The single option tries to do too much work, which just ends up confusing people.
So:
- don't force the console font, the kernel can figure this out as of #210205
- don't force the systemd-boot mode, it's an awkward mode that's not supported
on most things and will break flicker-free boot
- add a separate option for the xorg cursor scaling trick and move it under the xorg namespace
- add a general `fonts.optimizeForVeryHighDPI` option that explicitly says what it does
- alias the old option to that
- don't set any of those automatically in nixos-generate-config
GDM and LightDM are already using this approach. It also allows us to
enable Kwallet integration more globally without generating stray PAM
services.
The default configuration of login service includes both options sddm
was setting explicitly.
This removes two unused service configs from /etc/pam.d/ and, more
importantly, reduces confusion.
* kdm no longer exists in nixpkgs
* `pam.d/gdm` is not used by gdm
* `pam.d/lightdm` IS used by lightdm but hardcoded using .text rather
than attrset+template.
this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
productname, application, acronym, guilabel, and guibutton were so far
not rendered specially and can go away completely.
replaceable does render differently, but since it was only used twice
and in places where the intent should be clear without the extra markup
it can go as well.
markdown cannot represent those links. remove them all now instead of in
each chapter conversion to keep the diff for each chapter small and more
understandable.
mkAliasOptionModule should not default to mdDoc descriptions because
that can break out-of-tree users of documentation infrastructure. add an
explicitly-MD variant for now, to be removed some time after the MD
transition is complete.
Mostly all mint app looks for xapp-* icons, while some icon themes do provide them,
mint-y-* does not. We are just going the laziest way here to install xapp globally
to get those icons.
