On Artix OpenRC using NetworkManager.

The notification center does not show the WIFi module. If you point me to the file, I could look into it.image.png

Hmm. NetworkManager is supported by Quickshell so it should work. The actual toggle is here. Unsure if you'd need to also look into Helpers/Network.qml as well though.

It does work on Desktop. I messed up and did not include that info.

I did use nmcli initially to connect, but it should indeed be networkmanager managed.

@zach
It seems that the cause is restarting the NetworkManager service. Not sure if the bar should even be relooking for NetworkManager after the initial launch of the bar. I personally do not think so. Sounds like a bloated solution to be checking if any service gets restarted, stopped, etc. I will leave it up to you if you want to close as wontfix.

I'm not sure if I could even do that since the check uses Quickshell's API with an import, maybe if I use a timer but I agree that'd be a bit bloated. Do you restart NM often?

No, only did so because of initial setup and figuring out nm-applet on non NixOS distributions (in NixOS, the applet launches alongside the NM service). I'd say it is indeed not worth doing a timer on this.
