|
+Major working update plus plans for big changes.

|
|

|
|
|
+## libvirt
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create a `libvirt` branch to test this setup process!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create `libvirt/` and write up the libvirt/kvm/qemu/ovmf-uefi implementation again!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Copy the files back to my laptop to test it there, since I already have libvirt setup.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I'll need to get back to a working state with the packer.json and Vagrantfile for libvirt as well, thankfully I kept the branch and diffs!

|
|
|
+## sway
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create a `sway` branch to test building a minimal install with a brand new window manager and removing xorg packages!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This will likely require significant refinement, as I'll need to test configurations on real hardware to validate multi-monitor behavior.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Further, it will require some time to get used to it, but from rudimentary tests I have been able to run every game of interest on it, and with significantly increased performance!

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Installed packages:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ sway
|
|
|
+ alacritty
|
|
|
+ wofi
|
|
|

+ ttf-font-awesome
|
|
|
+ wl-clipboard
|
|
|
+ lxsession-gtk3
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Next create a config for sway:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ mkdir -p ~/.config/sway
|
|
|
+ cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/config
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+_I'm still tinkering with one using `wofi` for `$menu` and waybar, but it's not nearly ready._
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Migrate as many hotkeys from `rc.xml` as possible to sway config
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Added to `~/.bash_profile`:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
|
|
|
+ export SDL_VIDEODRIVER="wayland"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+_The `SDL_VIDEODRIVER` is for steam, and may break in many games, so I'll need to add overrides for incompatible titles using `SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11` in steam launch commands, or if more games fail than no I can invert my setup so I add the override for games that I know work with wayland._
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Switch to waybar in sway config (_this is a massive improvement over the default_):
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ bar {
|
|
|
+ swaybar_command waybar
|
|
|
+ }
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+_I need to research how to fully customize waybar, because it has a **lot** of data and could be refined!_
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I need to test wayland native alternatives to `urxvt` and `pcmanfm`; one recommendation is `alacritty` as a `urxvt` replacement, and `pcmanfm-gtk3` is supposedly wayland-compatible without xwayland. Needs to be tested.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+I also need to test a base install with **no** GUI packages and manually installing the sway dependencies to ensure a minimal build.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Add logic to sway config that starts sway-session target:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ exec_always "systemctl --user import-environment; systemctl --user start sway-session.target"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+_Delete legacy userspace service files, and edit/change others for sway-session compatibility._
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Create new systemd service files for:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- update-desktop-database (oneshot)
|
|
|
+- xdg-user-dirs-update (oneshot)
|
|
|
+- gtk3-settings (oneshot)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+_Verify whether we can delete `.Xdefaults` and `.Xresources`, as both should be legacy xorg specific; eg. urxvt._

+- research firefox auto-configuration _or_ copying configuration files (_eg. if plain text can add to dot-files_):
|
|
|
+ - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig
|
|
|
+ - verify if it remembers workspaces when re-opened
|

|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
+- add `yad` to packages as a wayland-native `zenity` alternative
|
|
|
+ - add messages to waybar for battery
|
|
|
+ - add messages to pash for volume changes?
|
|

+- install `cmst` from aur and try it out as an option for wifi support
|
|
|
+ - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cmst/
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- investigate using `scratchpad` feature of `sway` for persistent terminal with toggle hotkey
|
|
|
+- investigate creating workspace affinities for things like fullscreen games so it automates placement/movement
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- set sway config to load userspace `.d` directory for custom settings
|
|
|
+ - touchpad-specific configuration; we may be able to add a default if we can identify ideal settings...
|
|
|
+ - display-specific configuration
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- on real hardware I'll need to test/refine sway config hotkeys for better navigation
|
|
|
+ - test creating workspace "affinity" for games and videos etc... so they open into a desirable placement?
|
|
|
+ - multi-monitor support and configuration; I'll need hotkeys that move applications between displays
|
|
|
+ - supposedly each monitor is treated as a separate workspace, so this might work well
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
+ - test left/right arrow navigation; both changing workspaces and also displays
|
|
|
+ - _can this be used for all workspaces or only numbered?_
|
|
|
+ - _Does it loop?_
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### testing
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- sway launched without any issues
|
|
|
+- waybar is awesome, basically replaces both tint2 AND conky at the same time
|
|
|
+ - can we resize and adjust what is displayed?
|
|
|
+ - can we add cmst and launch from right click?
|
|
|
+ - can we auto-hide/show with modifier keys so fullscreen apps work?
|
|
|
+- wofi is very fast and very clean, but it seems to be pulling from `.desktop` and not raw command line
|
|
|
+ - can we disable history so when it cannot find something it doesn't launch the last thing it had?
|
|
|
+ - _figure out how to add and run raw cli commands and we'd be set!_
|
|
|
+ - can use mod+d for apps and mod+space for terminal commands!
|
|
|
+ - I can also load a custom css to style it very nicely
|
|
|
+- alacritty is fast and works great so far, need to test unicode character support, but if so it might be time...
|
|
|
+ - _can possibly dump `.Xdefaults`?_
|
|
|
+- firefox ran without xwayland, so it's native!! Woohoo!
|
|
|
+- wine, and specifically genshin, ran natively without using xwayland? Holy shit!
|
|
|
+- sublime text loaded and is wayland native (eg. no xlsclients)
|
|
|
+- Resolution was resolved, but adaptive sync only works with display port not hdmi sadly
|
|
|
+ - _genshin now perfectly launches filling the screen without waybar, so maybe it's a non-issue?_
|
|
|
+- used mozilla gum_test to verify webcam, mic, and screen sharing worked
|
|
|
+- I should also investigate get_inputs to see what config options I have there!
|
|
|
+ - _namely for mouse and touchpad fine-tuning defaults; if they aren't already_
