Motivation for this change

This option is only available as a command-line flag and not from the config file, that is services.picom.settings. Therefore it is more important that it gets its own option.

One reason one might need this set is that blur methods other than kernel do not work with the old backends, see yshui/picom#464.

For reference, the home-manager picom module exposes this option too.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Simple enough change, LGTM 👍

I've never used picom and have no specific knowledge of it, so it would be nice to get an approval from one of the maintainers before merge... ping @Twey @Enzime @ertes

If we don't hear back in a few days feel free to ping me and we'll merge. Thanks!

@aanderse It does not look like the maintainers are available.
