Trying some Quickshell stuff with Noctalia

See I am WAYY too lazy to write all that CSS...maybe if I were like a
graphic designer or something but I'm not.
Oddly though, this feels like a desktop environment. I'm a little
worried about battery life too.
I'm happiest that this got nightlight to work lol.
I also switched to NetworkManager for the interface.
I think doing stuff very manually was good education and I don't regret
it, but...lets be so fr there's no real reason to be doing all that.
