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.

xorg sucks, use swc
Combine this with the velox dwm-inspired window manager and you have yourself a full graphical wayland environment in about 12k sloc. I don't really see a reason to keep xorg so I will be purging it from all of my machines.

Combine this with the velox tiling-wm (2897 sloc), and you have a full, hackable tiling wm in about 13k Lines of static C code.
