Sway external display
Without digging into you problem, i just let you know one options/tool as an addition: https://github.com/emersion/kanshi
-
Starting kanshi from sway
This works, but after a reload of the config the configuration is gone. Then I found this discussion and changed the line to:
-
Arch users belike
Kanshi is not exactly what you're looking for but i stumbled across this when I was writing the dynamic display configuration page.
-
Terminal font size on hidpi + normal display
You should use different scale factors on each monitor. You can do it in your sway configuration, or use something like kanshi that automatically applies different settings based on what is connected.
-
Inaccessible workspaces
If this fixes your problem you'll want to apply this fix: Disable Laptop screen upon closing screen. or you can use something like Automatic display profile switcher when you connect your external display to switch it to while also disabling your laptop screen.
-
How to toggle transparency and gaps? Preserve display configuration?
I also heard of kanshi for monitor configuration, but I believe there's an open bug where sway reload breaks kanshi config... which kind of defeats the purpose.
- Single Background / Multiple Monitors
-
Script for docked mode
kanshi should be able to do it.
-
Organising workspaces on multiple monitors
Assuming your connected monitors may change - you plug another one in and then you want to move workspaces the new output: kanshi can help you with that. You can tell kanshi to execute commands when it matches a profile.
-
Sway not picking the highest refresh rate available
For this you can use kanshi.

Been thinking of switching to linux but I am a noob
Generally, Arch is the better platform for getting various kernel versions, but there's always stuff like Xanmod which is easy to do in any distro. Worst case, could always use linux-tkg script to build your own kernel - with that kind of hardware it shouldn't take long for the kernel to be built.

The nvidia proprietary driver sets this anyway after installation. This fixes the issue of KDE Wayland often times freezing on first login before nvidia proprietary drivers are installed. latest mesa release version provided for AMD/Intel desktop/GL drivers, mesa-git vulkan drivers provided for latest vulkan fixes/updates, built and updated regularly (every few weeks to a month on average) glibc patched with clone3 disabled (fixes CEF compatibility in applications using outdated CEF such as Discord, Steam beta) glibc patched with broken commits reverted to allow EasyAntiCheat to work for Rogue Company dnf max parallel downloads increased to 6 gst-editing-services disabled — causes WINE to hang when creating new prefixes lspci symlink from /usr/sbin/lspci to /usr/bin/lspci for Dying Light: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2766/post_id=17381 ‘nobara-controller-config’ package provided for easy installation of xone and xpadneo drivers and firmware. gnome variable refresh rate patches added for mutter: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1154 gnome mutter check-alive-timeout increased from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. This is the amount of time gnome waits before trying to determine if an application is not responding. At 5 seconds it almost immediately triggers for league of legends (and some other applications) if those applications are still in the loading phase. We feel 30 seconds is a much more reasonable wait time. gnome mutter patched with x11 fractional scaling: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/raw/ubuntu/master/debian/patches/ubuntu/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch gnome mutter wayland and x11 fractional scaling enabled by default: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#Fractional_scaling gnome shell patched with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2358 to allow gnome-extension-manager to auto-update without needing gnome-extension-app installed. (They both function the same but gnome-extension-manager allows management of extensions without a browser). gamescope version regularly updated goverlay version regularly updated mangohud version regularly updated vkbasalt version regularly updated vm.max_map_count = 16777216 set by default for Star Citizen xwayland patched with fix for locked fps on some systems: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:hwsnemo:xwayland/xwayland/xwayland-vsync.diff?expand=1 supergfxctl and gnome extension + kde plasmoid enabled for laptops. Vendor agnostic and works with any combination of intel/amd/nvidia gpus.

What is the best Linux Kernel for gaming?
Technically, it would be https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg compiled specifically for you CPU and with tickless and a bunch of other patches, but the different isn't significant
-
Error 2124 when trying to interact with super-block (show-super, set-option)
Kernel: Gentoo-sources (6.1.28) with these patches for bcachefs (applied through Gentoo user patches, no other patches installed)
-
Distro Hop best way?
New kernel is available, just not straight from Manjaro. Plus lots of options and patches https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg
-
Wine-tkg or Linux-tkg in Ubuntu Studio?
Is it possible for Ubuntu Studio to have the kernel upgraded -it is at 5.15 atm? The kernel from the Frogging Family: https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg And how do I install wine-tkg 😅 I cant seems to figure it out. https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git

Current state of Tumbleweed with Nvidia graphic cards? (updates/bricked system)
I use Nvidia (GTX 1080) and Tumbleweed just fine. No issues. But also I use a custom Kernel, based-on TKG currently and HEAVILY customized (https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg). I also use SLRC (https://susepaste.org/89529032) SUSE Local Repository Creator, to download and keep all the repos I use for SUSE, including Tumbleweed.
-
TW good for gaming?
Also, I use a custom Kernel (at the moment TKG - https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg), supports SUSE. But there's also pre-built Liquorix Kernel for SUSE Tumbleweed in the OBS: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:hwsnemo:kernels /kernel-liquorix

Can't run any games on GE Proton (Zorin OS Lite)
You can compile by yourself, TKG is the easiest for me: https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg
-
Would MicroOS be appropriate for me? Or better to go with tumbleweed
I have no issues with Nvidia drivers on Tumbleweed. But also you can use a custom Kernel (TKG -- https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg -- for instance) and use offline repos (with this script: https://susepaste.org/89529032 -- not mine but clean) to download SUSE repos that you need. Re run the script to update. Quick, easy and you're not bombarded with updates; update when you want. Works beaut with Tumbleweed.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kanshi and linux-tkg you can also consider the following projects:
wlr-randr - An xrandr clone for wlroots compositors
zen-kernel - Zen Patched Kernel Sources
wayvnc - A VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors
linux - XanMod: Linux kernel source code tree
dwl - dwm for Wayland - ARCHIVE: development has moved to Codeberg
nvidia-all - Nvidia driver latest to 396 series AIO installer
wdisplays - GUI display configurator for wlroots compositors
modprobed-db - Keeps track of EVERY kernel module that has ever been probed. Useful for those of us who make localmodconfig :)
wayland - Core Wayland protocol and libraries (mirror)
community-patches - A place to find patches that are maintained by the community before myself
wdisplays
anbox-modules - Anbox kernel modules
