- The `networking.wireguard` module now can set the mtu on interfaces and tag its packets with an fwmark.



- The option `overrideStrategy` was added to the different systemd unit options (`systemd.services.<name>`, `systemd.sockets.<name>`, …) to allow enforcing the creation of a dropin file, rather than the main unit file, by setting it to `asDropin`.

  This is useful in cases where the existence of the main unit file is not known to Nix at evaluation time, for example when the main unit file is provided by adding a package to `systemd.packages`.

  See the fix proposed in [NixOS's systemd abstraction doesn't work with systemd template units](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/135557#issuecomment-1295392470) for an example.



- The `polymc` package has been removed due to a rogue maintainer. It has been

  replaced by `prismlauncher`, a fork by the rest of the maintainers. For more

  details, see [the pull request that made this
