This combined with su makes it possible to automatically start a user
environment with sakaya-server running, thus eliminating the need to
spawn a shell with machinectl.
The white flash when starting hyprland is a deal breaker for me
personally and I'd rather not have to deal with it. Should hopefully be
fixed in a later release since it seems to be a wlroots issue.
Although this was cute, there are simply too many bugs and other
inconveniences to be worth it. For example, the bar cannot be focused
when a workspace has a fullscreen application.
This is kinda cool however v0.27.2 and above appear to introduce a white
flash for me when starting Hyprland. Because of this, I'll probably stay
on v0.27.0 for the time being and only patch things I really want.
This was my test of the hyprbars fork. It turns out that the original
version is more useful, although both versions crash whenever reloading
the plugin after unloading it once.
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.
