@baggins I installed this on a laptop and put it to sleep all the time. Granted I've had wake up issues in arch linux sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't .
I'm quite happy at least I can just put this(laptop) to sleep.
@Sunny I would still be using it haha the days of distro hopping are over for me. It is tiring. Moving data and configuring things again is tiring.
Most of my day is just staying in vscode, deliver my solutions and just call it a day then play Guild Wars 2 to unwind.
tl;dr I'm in for the long journey unless something bad happens.
@boredsquirrel Seems they just do a year support? Will check it out but I don't think I'll be hopping anywhere else anytime.
- Arch Linux, everything vanilla.
- RTX 3090
I'm not really into customizing the living hell of my devices. I enjoy stability and would rather just settle with plain of defaults.
Has happened with Plasma 5. I always thought it was kwin (compositor) but.... who knows.
@cyborganism No........? I play with a controller.... mostly. Both have exhibited the same behavior with controller or keyboard/mouse. Plasmashell gets weird starts flickering like crazy or flips the image in reverse. (as in bottom is now top)
It's been an ongoing thing. Whatever is happening resetting plasmashell always helps. Which begs the question if plasmashell is getting "somehow influenced" by something.
@cyborganism Yes, rotating upside down. It doesnt happen all the time but I'm also like puzzled what's causing it...
@jac Hey, thanks for sharing!
They have a lot of useful information.
cc mostly in case if you find it useful @Max_P wayland headless https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/dev/wayland.html
https://games-on-whales.github.io/gow/monitor.html#_force_xorg_to_use_a_custom_edid
And a mention of custom EDID for a monitor to be registered huh . Guess I'll follow up on this as well eventually, less work setting things up and more things to learn.
@Max_P Anyhow I think I should be good. That was all super interesting looking at the freedesktop documentation it does answer some things I was wondering about myself.
Now I don't think I feel in the mood to toy with creating my own display manager, maybe as a pet project but man I can't imagine anyone new be like "so there's a centralized documentation/communication channel for all of this, right?" π
@Max_P Just to pick your brain and sorry for asking so many questions but what if from what you said nested compositors/clients/etc I could just create a separate virtual screen and have WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 (or 0:1) wouldn't I be technically be able to capture that and project it for my needs?
I guess I'm just jumbling/reorganizing my mind with this new information. I feel like the question would be "can I create a virtual monitor within a parent session?"
Anyhow, thanks again!
@Max_P That looks amazingly promising regardless. I'm still bummed and a bit confused on the one shared GPU business I thought it wouldn't matter if you ran multiple graphical applications regardless or is this imposed by Wayland at the moment? If not wayland would X11 do the same?
Just throwing questions more out of curiosity.
How... do you find all these pieces to glue together? Who or what is putting these out there "hey I want to initiate an desktop env"
Thank you!!
@Sina That's a fair observation. It is highly probable that the team has no experience with doing a distribution. Sometimes I just ponder if it's just the lack of people in the team doing QA or just not enough experience to fix issues.
