# Hardware enablement beyond nixos-hardware.
#
# The nixos-hardware "common-*" profiles the installer selects cover the
# BASICS (microcode, the Intel/AMD VA-API media stack, weekly fstrim), and
# power.nix adds thermald + power-profiles-daemon. This module fills the GAP
# above those: broadly-beneficial bits that default ON when the installer
# detects the vendor (opt-OUT), and heavier/experimental bits behind opt-IN
# toggles. The installer's hardware-db.sh probes what's present and writes the
# matching nomarchy.hardware.* into the generated system.nix.
#
# Audited against the commons so we don't double-set: we add GuC/HuC, the
# amd-pstate governor, the AMD VA-API env, GPU-compute runtimes, fprintd, and
# the NPU driver — none of which the commons turn on.

when it detects a paired RGB+IR webcam. Only the PipeWire node is
disabled the kernel /dev/video* device stays open, so face-unlock
