Description

I need to set an environment variable depending on if a home manager module is enabled. Specifically I want something like this:

environment.sessionVariables.NIXOS_OZONE_WL = mkIf snowfallorg.users.${
        config.${namespace}.user.name
      }.home.config.desktop.hyprland.enable
      "1"; # Hint electron apps to use wayland

Where desktop.hyprland is a module living in:
modules/home/desktop/hyprland/default.nix

Research direction

Start by reading modules/home/desktop/hyprland/default.nix and the example NixOS configuration in the issue. Determine whether the enabled Home Manager module can be inspected from the NixOS configuration and how that should be exposed; done means the requested environment variable can reliably depend on Hyprland being enabled.
