+== Configuration ==
+=== Rootless X11 ===
+{{ic|sddm}} launches X11 as a root user by default. For better security, X11 should be run as a non-root user:
+<syntaxHighlight lang=nix>
+services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.settings.General.DisplayServer = "x11-user";
+</syntaxHighlight>
+=== Excluding applications from the default install ===
+Some optional packages that are installed by default can be excluded if they are not needed.
 ==== Plasma 5 ====
-Not all applications that come pre-installed with the KDE Plasma desktop environment are desirable for everyone to have on their machines. There's a way to edit configuration.nix to exclude some [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-23.11/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/plasma5.nix#L275-L284 optional packages], for example as follows:

 By default, the Plasma configuration can be handled like on [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE traditional systems].
 With [https://github.com/pjones/plasma-manager plasma-manager], it is possible to make Plasma configurations via nix by providing [https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager home-manager] modules.
