=== Brightness and Color brightness control sets gamma instead of brightness on external monitors ===

To allow <code>powerdevil</code> (and by extension the "Brightness and Color" status tray menu) to control brightness on supported monitors directly instead of adjusting gamma, [[Backlight#Via ddcutil|configure your system to enable ddcutil]], and allow your user to use DDC/CI without root.

To allow <code>powerdevil</code> (and by extension the "Brightness and Color" status tray menu) to control brightness on supported monitors directly instead of adjusting gamma, [[Backlight#Via ddcutil|configure your system to enable ddcutil]], and allow your user to use DDC/CI without root. Note that you do not need to add <code>ddcutil</code> to your system packages because PowerDevil uses libddcutil.

=== Plasma wallpaper reverts back to default after a Nix GC ===

When setting a wallpaper, Plasma may save the path as a <code>/nix/store/*/share/wallpapers</code> path instead of <code>/run/current-system/sw/share/wallpapers/</code>. To fix this, open <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc</code> and manually change the paths.

=== No available locale settings in the Plasma system settings ===

The "Region & Language" page in the Plasma system settings is somewhat broken on NixOS. Instead, edit the <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/plasma-localerc</code> file.
