commenting out everything above wayland.windowManager.hyprland
doesn’t change anything
here is the error I get:

warning: error(s) occurred while switching to the new configuration
I’ve tried the home-manager.backupFileExtension = "backup" that it suggests, issue is, it only works till I reboot. then I either have to delete the file it created (named “backup”), or give the file a different name (computer got borked when I last did that, so I’m not doing it again.)
the error does not appear if I remove this module from my home.nix file.
looking online said deleting the previosly existing hyprland.conf file should fix it. it did not.
anyone know what’s happening?
