@normalcea:matrix.org@normalcea:matrix.org No there sadly isn't, Debian/Ubuntu handle this by having certain packages create a reboot file in /var/run but there's no unified interface, especially since nixos doesn't install gnome-software by default which has the reboot indicator design. 18:44:57

@normalcea:matrix.org@normalcea:matrix.org Maybe it would be helpful if the system.autoUpgrade module had a post-update hook option, then you can hook that into a notification or what not. 18:50:36
@normalcea:matrix.org@normalcea:matrix.orgIt's x11 wm that uses gnome components but with metacity (the compositor before mutter), I just don't know if it's worth keeping under the gnome module since GNOME 50 will completely remove the x11 codepath18:54:35
