Replace the static hypridle.conf with services.hypridle.settings and add required timeout options so each host tunes its own values: - idols-ai (PC): 15 min keyboard, 20 min screen-off, 30 min lock. - 12kingdoms-shoukei (laptop): 3 / 6 / 20 min (previous values). The options have no defaults because the right values depend on the machine. Update the home-manager eval test to inspect the settings option instead of the old config file text.

Why install Desktop Environments in Home Manager instead of NixOS Module?
-
Configuration Location: Desktop environment configuration files are located in
~/.config, which can be easily managed by Home Manager. -
User-specific Services: User-specific systemd services (noctalia-shell, fcitx5, hypridle, etc.) can be easily managed by Home Manager. If desktop environments were configured via NixOS Module, these user-level services might fail to start automatically. With Home Manager modules, we can control systemd service dependency order more effectively.
-
System Benefits: By minimizing package installation through NixOS Module:
- Makes the NixOS system more secure and stable
- Increases portability to non-NixOS systems, as Home Manager can be installed on any Linux system
- Allows for easier switching between different window managers without system-level changes
