You will need to manually set `hardware.nvidia.open` to select the proprietary or open driver. +- The dhcpcd service (`networking.useDHCP`) has been hardened and now runs exclusively as the "dhcpcd" user. + Users that were relying on the root privileges in `networking.dhcpcd.runHook` will have to write specific [sudo](security.sudo.extraRules) or [polkit](security.polkit.extraConfig) rules to allow dhcpcd to perform privileged actions. + + As part of these changes, the DHCP lease files directory has also been moved from `/var/db/dhcpcd` to `/var/lib/dhcpcd`. This migration is performed automatically, but users may have to update their backup configuration. + - `singularity-tools` have the `storeDir` argument removed from its override interface and use `builtins.storeDir` instead. - Two build helpers in `singularity-tools`, i.e., `mkLayer` and `shellScript`, are deprecated, as they are no longer involved in image-building. Maintainers will remove them in future releases.
