  the physical display output is claimed by something else totally separate. Yes, and the above solution I laid out is a way to get around that, that potentially dodges the complexity of configuring a headless session. It’s possible to run two KDE sessions at once, next to eachother, and then simply put one on the main display, with the second being “headless”, and not shown. I started fiddling with the above setup I described, actually installing and testing sunshine. Unfortunately I hit som...

  Second comment: docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/…/headless_ssh.html There is also this guide, but it is specific for Xorg and Nvidia gpus. But I suspect that if you replace the startx here with startplasma-wayland or dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland, then it will work. It would still be nvidia gpu specific though.

  If you log in (preferably as another user) to another tty (Cntrl + Alt + F2/3/4/5), and then run dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland, does that work? Sometimes just startplasma-wayland works, which used to work for me but didn’t work for me this time. Then, you should be able to switch back to the original KDE session, which continues to work normally, at least it does for me. Both sessions should have shared access to the GPU, as well. You can then probably run sunshine in that second inst...

• [Solved] Benefit of a subvolume below the top level btrfs subvolume?

  According to the archwiki article on a swapfile on btrfs: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#Swap_file Tip: Consider creating the subvolume directly below the top-level subvolume, e.g. @swap. Then, make sure the subvolume is mounted to /swap (or any other accessible location). But… why? I’ve been researching for a bit now, and I still don’t understand the benefit of a subvolume directly below the top level subvolume, as opposed to a nested subvolume. At first I thought this might be because...

  Did you reboot? It could be that a system service was installed, and activated. This service could stay running even after the packages are removed, since the programs would remain in memory.

• Got a framework. Migrated all my data over using rustic.

  It was fairly easy. I used rustic to back up my entire home directory to a USB flash drive. The trick is to ensure that all applications (except KDE) are closed. Firefox, for example, really hates if you try to actively sync or copy over it’s profile directories while it is running. And then I also nuked my podman user data. (podman system reset). Podman sometimes makes the ownership of it’s files weird, but also the container images take up a lot of space that I don’t really care about act...
