Is there any way to force dbus to use a specific notification daemon? On one of my systems, I run both Plasma and Sway. The latter obviously doesn't have a notification system, so I'm using mako. As far as I can tell, mako automatically launches when a notification is fired, however this causes an issue with Plasma. Plasma seems to be shutting down its own notification daemon in favor of anything else that's running, and I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent it from doing that

Project mention: An OS which is literally just a browser? | reddit.com/r/linuxquestions | 2022-01-02
you can install a wm that just supports just one window (like cage) or run an browser over x11 without a wm. You'd still need a login manager, but that'd be it...

Project mention: What are some automation scripts that have made your life easier? | reddit.com/r/commandline | 2021-07-15
# Details I'm an English speaker living abroad, and while I'm trying to learn the local language it's real hard. I found myself popping open a browser to use deepl quite frequently, or trying to find translator plugins for several different applications. To make this process easier, I wrote a script (bound to a hotkey) which will screenshot a selected area, OCR it, translate it to english, and show a notification with the translated text. It also copies the translated text to the clipboard. Why screenshot + OCR rather than just selecting and copying text? Images and screen-sharing, mostly. I think this is just a really cool way to show how the hard parts have usually been done for you, and all you need to do is put the blocks together. ## Implementation I'm running sway, so the several of the tools are Wayland specific. You could easily swap them out for xorg compatible variants if you like. The script is [here](https://github.com/rbuchberger/dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/screenshot\_translate). The toolchain is: * [Slurp](https://github.com/emersion/slurp) - select an area * [Grim](https://github.com/emersion/grim) - screenshot that area * [Tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) - OCR * [Translate Shell](https://www.soimort.org/translate-shell/) - Translation CLI * [Mako](https://github.com/emersion/mako) - Notification window Mako needed a little configuration to show long form text: [category=translation] width=900 height=1200 Edit: added details and links for the tools used.

Project mention: Can KScreenLocker and SDDM merged into one single program? | reddit.com/r/kde | 2022-01-09
I meant that a standard of some sort is probably needed to handle both the desktop environment telling the display manager to lock the screen AND allowing said display manager to take over the screen and lock it. On Wayland at the moment I'm not aware of any screen locker that isn't part of the DE itself that works on GNOME or KDE (I only know of swaylock and waylock, and both require protocols that are only implemented by wlroots based compositors, at least according to Waylock's readme).
