After upgrading my NixOS system, I am only able to access TTY1 and my graphical interface is missing. Gave the same problem to chatGBT it told me to add Plasma6 some Graphic drivers etc., i did that all but if I Upgrade the switch my GUI is still missing.
We need more info: which GPU, share your config as well, system logs, which revision of nixpkgs you’re using, etc.
I am new to nixos so i dont know what you mean by versions of nixpkgs and how i should show you the systemlogs. but here this is what i can provide you with `# Your system configuration. Help is available in the configuration.nix(5) man page
and in the NixOS manual (accessible by running ‘nixos-help’).

Looks like you used in-line code formatting text which is done with single `text`.
but you probably meant for a
code
block
which uses three on each side like so:
```
code
block
```
Also, that looks like your configuration file. If you are using flakes you will have a flake.nix file somewhere with a line like nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-24.05. If you are using channels, you can list them with the command nix-channel --list | grep nixos.
