This is exciting to me because GDM in Gnome 3.14 is the first real display manager with support for launching Wayland compositors. There are a number of very practical Wayland compositors popping up on GitHub and elsewhere, but most of them seem to preclude the notion of a "login" screen by including a CLI launcher (e.g. weston-launch). It's difficult to claim Wayland support without a login screen. I'm not sure when or how things will settle in the Wayland/Mir/X11 space, but hopefully by *next* stable release we can have something. Gnome 3.14 will be good to have for developing *meaningful* Wayland support. I'll update the Wayland issue once I've poked at Gnome 3.14 some more. I would really like for Gnome 3.14 to be merged. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/5071 > - syslinux boot loader for usb images > https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/4678 I will test this soon.

See > https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8 Does the "private store files" feature account for user creation/management? The primary use for this from what I can see is /etc/passwd management. What about /etc/wpa_supplicant? I assume these nix expressions haven't yet been written/updated for private file support. I would also like to be able to store my private data somewhere in the interim *not* in my configuration.nix (gpgzip.nix? fetchmegaupload.nix?) and prompt me for a password/key. Obviously start small, but it should be proven before being set in stone. Just my two cents.
