We’re so cooked

This seems like it’s for sharing same keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. What I am looking for is for the secondary laptop just to act as a monitor. That’s it. It could just be a video stream of a virtual monitor.

What I mean is the mouse cursor isn’t there when I move it over there. Well, isn’t visible. It still interacts with objects.

Same as this person’s issue: https://discuss.kde.org/t/show-cursor-on-virtual-display-kde-connect-krdc/43421

please take a look and tell me what you think

Sorry if it seems like I do, but I in fact do not have a brain.
I just found this tool gets the job done, and that’s it.

I typically just use it in a pretty stupid manual way.

local$ waypipe -c zstd=6 ssh username@IP
remote$ export DISPLAY=:90
remote$ ./xwayland-satellite :90 &
remote$ xfce4-panel

Even the xfce4-panel discovery was an accident.
I was using waypipe before knowing about xwayland-satellite. I wanted to run an X program, so in the same shell I typed vncserver to, well, launch a VNC server. That invoked xfce4-session, BUT since the WAYLAND_DISPLAY was set, XFCE DE attached to waypipe rather than XTigerVNC, launching a full remote desktop over my local one.
And out of that, xfce4-panel proves pretty useful. I can easily launch other programs using GUI, and also see widgets on that panel.

Here’s what I mean, if that sounds confusing:

Plasma panel (bottom) is local, XFCE panel (top and middle bottom) are remote.
Right, and you’re probably wondering why that app launcher at the top looks shattered. Well, both can’t be opened at once. If the application launcher goes out of focus, it closes.
But also, I use the shatter effect in KDE Plasma, so it doesn’t go away immediately. This is just as close as I could get with screenshot timing.

Just a quick note if someone is looking for X programs, you can use xwayland-satellite with waypipe. Set your DISPLAY variable, launch xwayland-satellite with the display number you just used, and X programs should just work as with usual rootless Xwayland (so no window with another window inside of it).

It even knows when you discover features by accident

Having exposed brain probably lead to significant damages to it.

Well, Lemmy does have something

Sorry about my Waypipe misunderstanding.
vncserver I configured that way, so of course. I just didn’t expect it to connect to Wayland.

If invoking xfce4-session works, it means you are doing so over vnc, not waypipe.

It does work over Waypipe. You can even see in my screenshot that on the remote machine it shows Waypipe as the WM.
The remote is running Debian 13, with multi-user.target set as default target to keep the GUI from starting. XFCE version is 4.20.1.

Using Waypipe, which proxies Wayland program GUIs to my local computer, just like ssh -X, but with Wayland, and it actually works over the internet (read: high latency).

I didn’t know XFCE supported Wayland , so I casually ran vncserver, which launched xfce4-session, except that it attached itself to the Wayland display (proxied to my local machine) rather than X display of TigerVNC. And here come the full XFCE right to my local machine (which is running Plasma).

Only if the machine is on LAN. I am running with 250ms here.

No, I was not using VNC. VNC xstartup script just launched xfce4-session which connected to Waypipe rather than Xtigervnc.

It does integrate itself to KDE nicely. Even with virtual desktops. And it even properly does the animations. Downside is, I can’t access the original desktop on my laptop while it’s running. Peek at desktop also shows XFCE.
Here’s the cube switcher, showing XFCE instead:

Probably snaps too.

Yeah, Gemini is… interesting. It said it’s a “one-way route” for the human.

My last 3 phones are just kind of pain software wise.
Moto G5s Plus - the Android 8 update (latest official) made it a slow horrible mess with frequent crashes and high battery drain. PixelExperience 11 fixed that.
Poco X3 Pro - told not to update to MIUI 13 due to instability. Many bugs I had to learn to work around. Left and right microphones reversed in software. Extreme power saving that doesn’t even spare alarms.
Ulefone Armor 24 - UI often crashes (Quickstep) including navigation. In some cases Android version updates don’t show up. The legend has it they sometimes provide updates after you e-mail them, stored on the Google Drive. Those updates do a factory reset, because of course they do. Alarm also has a chance of being killed, but lower than with MIUI. Charging with fast charger kills USB communication until reboot.

I don’t do updates anymore. Check the experiences online, and it’s all just new bugs, often pretty serious ones. So, if it somewhat works, and it isn’t absolutely clear that the next update would certainly fix something important, just keep it as-is.

TWRP could at least give me some peace of mind. I could just back up everything.

Same, but also for TrackPoint. I have the touchpad disabled. I don’t need to move my hand away from keyboard, I can endlessly scroll through pages at varying speeds just by finger pressure, and even cooler, I can scroll sideways just as easily. Oh, and I can also scroll both vertically and horizontally combined, to just easily navigate in the 2D space, pretty cool.
Although I also use the touchscreen a lot. I don’t want a regular laptop anymore. Unfortunately the 360 ThinkPads seem a bit rare when trying to find a used one.

Let me check what I could get if I tried to buy it new.
ThinkPad L13. Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, 16GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD, 1920x1200 IPS, WiFi 6E, plastic body. €1,398.76 with 3% student discount. That seems overpriced, at the very least for my use case.

Why is there a Gemini logo?
