Pierre Kisters dc527d0253 clipboardSync: off by default
It is built from source, which makes the first switch long. The template
lists it as a commented option; status shows clipboard-sync only while it
runs or its autostart link exists.

# (Xwayland :2). KDE autostart, not systemd: the nested desktop can't reach the
# user manager, and :2 must exist first. Built from source (upstream flake is
# x86-only); flake.nix passes the source in.
