# Example: Enabling LXQt with Niri Window Manager

To use LXQt with Niri as the window manager in your NixOS configuration, add the following to your host configuration:

```nix
{
  imports = lib.flatten [
    # ... other imports ...
    "hosts/common/optional/lxqt-niri.nix"
    "hosts/common/optional/gdm.nix"  # or sddm.nix for SDDM display manager
    # ... other imports ...
  ];
}
```

## What this provides

- **LXQt Desktop Environment**: Full LXQt suite including panel, file manager, settings tools, and applications
- **Niri Window Manager**: Modern tiling Wayland compositor with smooth animations
- **Qt Theming**: Proper Qt theming integration with LXQt themes and Kvantum support
- **System Integration**: Audio (PipeWire), network management, power management, and hardware support
- **XDG Portals**: Screen sharing and file picker integration for Wayland applications

## Session Selection

After adding this configuration and rebuilding your system, you'll see "LXQt (Niri)" as an option in your display manager's session selection menu.

## Additional Notes

- Network management is handled through NetworkManager with Qt frontend
- Audio is configured with PipeWire for low-latency audio
- The setup includes proper polkit integration for system authentication dialogs
- Bluetooth support is enabled by default
