feat: Network Manager VPN protocols

[Oidaho]

Pull Request

Description

PR in addition to issue #448

This change more logically structures comments and package groups in .lst files with the necessary packages for HyDe.

The main innovation is the addition of the necessary packages for users to work with VPNs of almost any caliber "from under the hood", without having to configure and/or fix extensions for Network Manager yourself.

Additional context

This change is niche, I agree. However, it will help most people who use HyDe as a workstation.

I've advised a lot of people on this project, and they all use VPNs one way or another: To access certain resources or to the corporate network on a remote work schedule.

I have tried to choose the most popular and best protocols that are available today. Other VPN protocols for NM can be described in pkg_extra.lst

1. we keep core packages as minimal as possible, so anything extra goes in pkg_extra.lst

2. i dont think less and man-db packages are required in a dotfiles repository like this. and as far as i remember, less comes with minimal arch installation.

2. i dont think `less` and `man-db` packages are required in a dotfiles repository like this. and as far as i remember, `less` comes with minimal arch installation.

Ok, then I'll move the VPN block to pkg_extra.lst

No, the arch minimal profile does not provide less. And it's weird. At some point, I wanted to check the GPG signatures for my commits and found that the git show and git log commands simply did not work due to the lack of a less package. So, I think that less is worthy of being in `pkg_core.lst'.

But man-db is exactly what dotfiles needs, otherwise you can get confused in the variety of fairly fresh and non-trivial packages.

One can use a browser. We can have this in our extra packages.

Resolve conflicts please

I found another cool thing today:
The git rebase --help command requires the man package, similar to the less package in the git show or git log command

Tonight I will return man to the list of system dependencies.

[kRHYME7]

man is not really required for HyDE to run or feature so I don't think we should add it.

Okay, whatever you say

But it still haunts me that some of the git functions don't work w\o this package. They're not important, but the idealist inside me is sounding the alarm :)

You can Install it in your local. We have tons of apps here with optional dependency, following this idea we will have tons of dependencies here.

How is the outline of the pop-up removed?
I have something like this!

Perhaps this problem could arise due to incorrect windowrules.

In Hyprland, it is possible to customize the noborder in windowrules for specific applications.

@Hareekshith GTK3 theming issue. This can be solved by modifying the gtk theme. Not all theme has this. I'm no good in css so I can't help.
