Every now and then my Ctrl+Backspace behaviour (which allows to delete a single word, right-to-left relative to the cursor's location) is masked or somewhat broken by the obnoxious Ctrl+Alt+Backspace shortcut that GNOME keeps mapping to "Key sequence to kill X server". I need to launch GNOME Tweaks to unmap it.

that should not be an issue though. Did you open a hole in firewall? KDEConnect NixOS module can do it for you too.

I'm having some trouble with my Piper software and Logitech G502 X mouse on NixOS. It seems Piper isn't showing all the buttons (specifically G7/G8) correctly and has incorrect images for the mouse. I found a workaround mentioned in a comment about using Nix, but I'm not sure how to go about implementing it.

The workaround mentioned was:
"If anybody uses Nix, I got it to work by copying the derivation from nixpkgs and replacing the version with the commit mentioned in #873. Not sure if there's a better way, but it works." -> link
Could someone break this down for me in simpler terms? How exactly do I copy the derivation from nixpkgs and update it with the commit from issue #873? Or is there an easier way to fix these problems with Piper and my G502 X mouse?

Any help or links to useful resources would be appreciated!
