Has anyone managed to force 1080p60Hz on the Steam Deck's Docked mode?
Apparently there is also an xrandr equivalent for wayland wlr-randr which could work to change the res from an SSH session to the deck or through a wrapper script as a launch option but i wasn't able to compile it yet because steamos comes with this weird semi-complete build environment and i couldn't be bothered to switch the OS partition to a RW mount yet.

I actually use linux because its objectively better
I currently use dwl which is much, much lighter than i3 and suits my needs. On my laptop I just don't have a window manager of any kind installed, I can get by with lynx and the TTY.
