@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.

@vaseline @kde Haha, oh man I didn't notice. Sadly unavailable 🥹

• 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.

@[email protected] 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.

@[email protected] Yes, rotating upside down. It doesnt happen all the time but I'm also like puzzled what's causing it...

@[email protected] All's good. Yea, reason for the post was that even though I took the partitions offline it wouldn't still let me resize. So I think the best next move would be just booting into a USB and see if it lets me.

The whole disk well, only the boot is separated. The rest of the partition has the whole space controlled by LVM. Interestingly even though that may be the setup something was just rejecting my resize request.

Sadly have more to say but Mastodon limit is hitting haha. nutshell

@[email protected] I didn't do anything fancy to be honest the resources pointed at me are not that different from what I did (example)

lvresize -r -L -80G /dev/mapper/laptop--lvm-home

But I think I got my cue from Arch Linux guide and will boot into a USB and do my resize commands.

Basically end result is just resize home to give root more space. All partitions in LUKS.

I think I got it from here knock on wood all that's left is just backup home, cross fingers and hope resizing goes through.

@[email protected] LVM is inside LUKS. For some reason, resizing stops even though I unmounted the partition it is still being marked as "active". I disabled my SDDM and everything, rebooted, and still couldn't do it.

my reaction was "well... maybe there's something else holding this, LUKS maybe?"

@Crazyslinkz oh I know how to extend it but having issues with the partitions being inside LUKS (encryption) so I... don't want to screw that part up and end up with something that doesn't boot.

@[email protected] Hey, thanks for sharing!

They have a lot of useful information.

cc mostly in case if you find it useful @[email protected] 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.

@[email protected] 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?" 😆

@[email protected] 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!

@[email protected] 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!!

@[email protected] I feel it's a bit messy since if there's a long text of body we don't really see that on mastodon instances?... Oh well, I just saw my own topic created on it and felt awkward but I guess that's that.
