By including an image changer in a separate exec-once, swww works as
intended. This enables virtual machines to have a random background on
startup without the abnormally long wait time previously.
This was the only way I could get plugins to work reliably. Might look
into this in the future, but v0.27.2 also includes some changes not
present in v0.27.0.
As a reminder, the neovim module includes a bunch of additional stuff
used for development. Although convenient, another approach may be
considered in the future.
This works, which is pretty cool. One unfortunate consequence is that
networking with the host is required, thus an alternative approach needs
to be considered if one still wants to eliminate internet access from
certain wine applications.
Although this was cool, it created some inconveniences that I'd rather
not have to deal with. For example, opening a document required manually
copying the file to the container mount first.
Instead of containerizing a subset of GUI applications, it's likely much
easier and more effective to spin up a virtual machine of the current
system. That way all GUI applications benefit from virtualization and
not simply containerization, which caused issues when certain programs
detected that they were already open from the wayland socket.
A final benefit of this change is that which container an application is
running in is no longer ambiguous. Although it was possible to use
custom GTK themes depending on which container an application belonged
to, containers for system-installed applications tend to bring a large
amount of overhead. Only using containers for applications that deal
with untrusted inputs and have a large attack surface seems better in
this case.
This is unfortunately necessary to fix an issue where the external
monitor wouldn't update its state every few seconds. Not sure what the
issue is since this only occurs in applications when typing and not when
playing back video, for example.
