Subject: [PATCH 2/9] Update Hyprland monitor config and fix Nix checks

Adjusted the VRR setting for the ASUS monitor to reduce flicker
during desktop use. Updated Nix checks to exclude
hardware-configuration.nix from formatting and analysis checks,
as it is auto-generated and should not be modified by users.

lockscreen, including UserPicker, AuthCard, CurrentUser,
SystemUsers, and UserAvatar. These components facilitate user
authentication and selection, enhancing the overall user
experience.
