=== Touchbar === | |||
Certain Macbook Pro models from 2020-2022 may include the Apple touchbar. Out of the box, the touchbar will be completely blank when running NixOS. The touchbar can be re-enabled by adding the following option to your configuration:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">{ | |||
hardware.apple.touchBar.enable = true; | |||
}</syntaxhighlight>This will enable basic function row emulation using the [https://github.com/AsahiLinux/tiny-dfr tiny-dfr] package provided by the [https://asahilinux.org/ Asahi Linux project]. | |||
