kwin_wayland supports launching Wayland displays inside a Wayland display. This can be used to launch KDE Plasma inside these windowed displays, and that recursive.

A GitHub with the script is here.

Super useful for running plasma-mobile or bigscreen for testing too!

[-] BlueKey@fedia.io 5 points 2 months ago

If you want to test Plasma, I think doing it in Distrobox would be a good idea, so your configs and Co are protected from corruption.. The KDE wiki gives instructions for that.

If you're trying out mobile or bigscreen, sure, that's an option.

If I'm trying to get bigscreen to work, and I need to make code changes to do so, a window is better.

Is there any reason or benefit on doing that? Genuine question

A friend of mine and I had a discussion why Browser add workspaces or side-panel like views inside them as I think the usage of multiple windows archives the same effect: separating a bunch of tabs.
They had the argument that it benefits as many windows get hard to handle when you try to find the right one in the taskbar after minimizing one.

So I had the idea "That's a good point. But why limit it to Browsers and Co and wait for them to implement such stuff (other example is tmux with terminals)". So I started researching and found a Mastodon post (sorry, but I forgot where it was) that showed a Plasma shell inside a Wayland window. With some tinkering I came up with this script.

Now to answer your question: it can help to organize a lot of windows, but each Plasma instance takes about 200 MB RAM and also on my computer the main Plasma instance kept crashing after some minutes.

Maybe share a GPU to different users of the same computer who are just using different monitors. This isn't virtualization, it seems like it's just workspaces created within workspaces, so it's maybe capable of managing a workspace per monitor.

This is called multi-seating and requires input handling of more than one keyboard and mouse (as well as other things). It is not really useful for that in the state shown above.

That would be morbidly obscene content

This person tops desks.

With what appears to be a PSO wallpaper. Respect

[-] blued_gear@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

I don't know what you mean with 'PSO', so I'm not sure if I deserve your respect.

You're like one of the few people I sawusing librewolf damn
