- GNOME has been updated to 46 "Kathmandu", which introduces an enhanced Files app, support for OneDrive in Online Accounts, and more changes. Refer to the [release notes](https://release.gnome.org/46/) for more details.
- Lomiri (formerly known as Unity8) desktop mode, using Mir 2.x to function as a Wayland compositor, is now available and can be installed with `services.desktopManager.lomiri.enable = true`. Note that some core applications, services and indicators have yet to be packaged, and some functions may remain incomplete, but the base experience should be there.
- LXQt has been updated to 2.0, which is based on Qt 6 and features Wayland support for many applications.
- MATE has been updated to 1.28.
- To properly support panel plugins built with Wayland (in-process) support, we are introducing the `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraPanelApplets` option, please use that for installing panel applets.
- Similarly, please use the `services.xserver.desktopManager.mate.extraCajaExtensions` option for installing Caja extensions.

- `documentation.man.mandoc` now, by default, uses `MANPATH` to set the directories where mandoc will search for manual pages.
This enables mandoc to find manual pages in Nix profiles. To set the manual search paths via the `mandoc.conf` configuration file like before, use `documentation.man.mandoc.settings.manpath` instead.
