From the source SKILL.md

NixOS's greetd unit is WantedBy = graphical.target. On a fresh install (or any host that came up without a display manager), the system's default.target points at multi-user.target, so the boot path never reaches graphical.target and greetd just sits enabled-but-inactive. Symptom: boot completes, getty@tty1 stays running, monitor shows the TTY login prompt instead of tuigreet.

# modules/desktop/greetd.nix — pin the default target
systemd.defaultUnit = "graphical.target";

When to invoke it: USE WHEN greetd doesn't autostart at boot (monitor shows TTY login prompt instead of tuigreet) — NixOS's greetd unit is `WantedBy=graphical.target` but the system's default.
