Replaces three handfuls of custom code with upstream / static data:
- Per-app Steam launch options now declared via different-name/steam-
config-nix's `programs.steam.config.apps.<n>` instead of a custom
~70-line `apply_launch_options` Python function. The dropped writer
was racy: it edited localconfig.vdf without checking for a running
Steam, so any timer firing while Steam was open would lose its
changes on the next Steam shutdown. steam-config-nix's `closeSteam`
flag closes that race.
Also moves the GE-Proton compat-tool pin to declarative config —
one fewer manual click in Steam UI to remember.
- `mods.<>.launchOptions` option, the `launchOptionsData` aggregation,
and `LAUNCH_OPTIONS_DATA` are removed from desktop-game-mods.nix.
The module now does file-drops only; Steam config lives in its own
`programs.steam.config` namespace, where it belongs.
fh5-vkd3d-no-hvv (which existed only to set VKD3D_CONFIG) collapses
into the FH5 launchOptions block in hosts/yarn/default.nix.
- `unitConfig.X-ConfigHash` on game-mods.service is replaced with
`restartTriggers`. NixOS already emits `X-Restart-Triggers=<hash>`
on the unit; the workaround was redundant. The Type=oneshot,
RemainAfterExit=no semantics make `systemctl restart` re-run
ExecStart cleanly on hash change.
- The awk pipeline that patched OptiScaler's stock OptiScaler.ini at
build time is replaced with a hand-written hosts/yarn/optiscaler-
fh5-rdna3.ini containing only the keys we override (5 of them).
OptiScaler's Config::readString defaults missing keys to "auto"
(Config.cpp:1568), so a minimal file is sufficient. Side benefits:
one upstream-source dependency removed, a key-rename in upstream
becomes a behavior change rather than a silent awk-no-match.
Override values + sources:
Fsr4Update=true FH5 wiki, FSR4 Linux Setup
DlssReactiveMaskBias=0.65 FH5 wiki, "Known Issues"
FsrNonLinearColorSpace=true FSR4 wiki, "Image Quality"
EnableFsr2Inputs=false FH5 wiki, "Known Issues"
Dxgi=false FH5 wiki
- forza-trigger's three custom Python derivations (pydualsense,
hidapi-usb, fdp) factored out of default.nix into a sibling
python-packages.nix. Same logic, single-purpose file. Bumping a
version is now a one-place hash roll.
- pkgs.dualsensectl removed from the daemon's environment.system-
Packages. Single-shot writes from the CLI get clobbered by the BG
sendReport thread within ~4ms anyway, so the tool is only useful
with the daemon stopped — not worth the unconditional install.
Bring it in ad-hoc with `nix-shell -p dualsensectl`.
Drops OptiScaler v0.9.1 + a FH5-tuned OptiScaler.ini into the FH5
install dir to unlock FSR 4 INT8 on this RDNA 3 (Navi 32) box.
OptiScaler intercepts FH5's DLSS/XeSS calls and reroutes them through
the bundled FFX SDK. Per the OptiScaler FH5 wiki page: rename
OptiScaler.dll to dxgi.dll, set Dxgi=false, DlssReactiveMaskBias=0.65,
and Fsr4Update=true for the INT8 RDNA 3 path.
Sets Steam launch options PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE=1 and
DXIL_SPIRV_CONFIG=wmma_rdna3_workaround on fh5-optiscaler (the FSR 4
wiki documents both as required for RDNA 3 on Linux).
fh5-vkd3d-no-hvv is its own mod (no files, just one launchOptions
entry for VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv) so the upload-hvv workaround
can be removed when a future Proton release fixes the underlying
issue without disturbing the OptiScaler config.
Extends the intro skip stub to cover the hires variant of the
T10/Microsoft Studios splash; the engine picks SD or hires based on
the installed asset profile, so stub both per PCGamingWiki.
Steam interprets exit 0 from 'steamos-update check' as 'update applied
successfully' and shows a persistent 'update available' notification.
The SteamOS convention is exit 7 = no update available.
new site-config.nix holds values previously duplicated across hosts:
domain, old_domain, contact_email, timezone, binary_cache (url + pubkey),
dns_servers, lan (cidr + gateway), hosts.{muffin,yarn} (ip/alias/ssh_host_key),
ssh_keys.{laptop,desktop,ci_deploy}.
threaded through specialArgs on all three hosts + home-manager extraSpecialArgs +
homeConfigurations.primary + serverLib. service-configs.nix now takes
{ site_config } as a function arg and drops its https namespace; per-service
domains (gitea/matrix/ntfy/mollysocket/livekit/firefox-sync/grafana) are
derived from site_config.domain. ~15 service files and 6 vm tests migrated.
breakage fixes rolled in:
- home/progs/zen/dark-reader.nix: 5 stale *.gardling.com entries in
disabledFor rewritten to *.sigkill.computer (caddy 301s the old names so
these never fired and the new sigkill urls were getting dark-reader applied)
- modules/desktop-common.nix: drop unused hugepagesz=1G/hugepages=3
kernelParams (no consumer on mreow or yarn; xmrig on muffin still reserves
its own via services/monero/xmrig.nix)
verification: muffin toplevel is bit-identical to pre-refactor baseline.
mreow/yarn toplevels differ only in boot.json kernelParams + darkreader
storage.js (nix-diff verified). deployGuardTest and fail2banVaultwardenTest
(latter exercises site_config.domain via bitwarden.nix) pass.
